Become A Nutcracker Sponsor
Season 2025
Dear Local Business,
Bay Area Youth Ballet is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization serving the San Francisco Bay Area. We are currently in rehearsals for our 7th annual production of The Nutcracker, to be performed at Skyline College’s beautiful 500-seat theater on December 12, 13 & 14, 2025. This year’s production features three professional guest artists, 29 pre-professional youth company dancers, and 51 classical ballet students selected by audition. Our cast includes families from across the upper Peninsula—Belmont, Foster City, San Mateo, Burlingame, Millbrae, Hillsborough, Brisbane, San Bruno, Pacifica, Daly City, South San Francisco, and San Francisco. To support our dancers and the arts in our community, we are seeking local businesses interested in becoming production sponsors. Our 2024 Nutcracker performances sold approximately 950 tickets, and attendance is projected to reach 1,200 this season.
Your tax-deductible support will help:
• Defray production expenses
• Provide financial aid to performers and discounted tickets to families in need
• Sustain our commitment to offering high-quality performances and educational programming to youth in our community
