THE STORYTELLER: Matching Gift Campaign
The Storyteller did more than inspire audiences to leap to their feet at
each of the six performances...it also inspired a new donor to give
a $10,000 gift that we are dedicated to matching.
We are hoping that you will help us meet our goal. Please consider
making a donation of any size in celebration of The Storyteller,
in honor of your daughter, son, sister, brother, alumnus,
or your favorite dance or dancer from our Event of the Year.
Every contribution makes a difference.
