Ticket sales and tuition monies can only cover a minimal percentage of our operating costs for Peoria Ballet Academy and Company. In order to produce two performances and continue running an academy for 300 students, Peoria Ballet must raise funds in a variety of means. An annual donor letter is sent out to many members of the community asking for their monetary support. Throughout the year, Peoria Ballet has any number of fundraising activities going. There are many small fundraisers that involve the school and also an annual fundraiser of grand proportions.

Some of our fundraisers include:

The Cinderella Ball held on Feb. 3rd 2007 at the Country Club of Peoria.
Raised $150,000 toward the new studio fund!
