LIGHTS, ACTION, GLAMOUR!
You can support SF Ballet from behind the scenes, or by making the scene. Each year, the San Francisco Ballet Auxiliary, Allegro Circle, BRAVO, and ENCORE! donate thousands of hours of volunteer service to produce several stunning events on behalf of SF Ballet. These events raise almost $5 million in support of SF Ballet's artistic and educational programs.
