It’s Giving Day!

Sponsor the shoes that keep our dancers on their toes!

February 19, 2025

Give Now

Support the sole of Philadelphia Ballet: Fund the shoes that help our dancers reach new heights!

Whether it’s the elegance of a ballerina en pointe or the powerful leaps of a male dancer on flats, your most cherished moments at the Philadelphia Ballet are brought to life by the shoes that elevate every performance

Pointe shoes and flat shoes allow ballet dancers to transcend beyond their earthly limits-each step, each leap, telling a story of grace, strength, and dedication. On our second annual Philadelphia Ballet Giving Day, we are asking for your support to provide these essential tools to our dancers.

Can you help us ensure they have the shoes they need to continue captivating audiences, season after season?

Together, let’s keep their artistry in motion.

Your support can make DOUBLE the difference!

All donations this Giving Day will be matched, thanks to a generous gift from an anonymous donor:

 

Hear from our dancers how your gift helps them soar:


“Dancing can only be joyous when it is audacious, and full of gusto. There is not room in ballet for bashful, timid and careful performances. THAT is the gift you can give a dancer by supporting our shoes. They may seem small, but to us, there is nothing larger.” – Ashton Roxander, The Deborah and Kurt Hilzinger Principal Dancer


“We express ourselves from the tips of our fingers to the tips of our toes, our pointe shoes allow us to share our passion with the audience. I feel strong, secure, and myself when I wear pointe shoes that I love, and that love me back!” – Lucia Erickson, The Christine James Soloist


“Without people supporting us and our shoes, we couldn’t dance and perform. I cherish my shoes a lot and each pair has provided something to get me to where I am today.” – Nick Patterson, The Lawrence and Rita Salva Soloist
