Sponsorship Invitation Letter
Dear Friends,
This year marks Tupelo Ballet’s 40th season, a milestone that is a testament to our devoted dance community and the dedication of Founder and Artistic Director, Sharon Long. To kick off the holiday season we will be presenting our 40th annual production of The Nutcracker, along with Sleeping Beauty in the spring. For four decades Tupelo Ballet has presented quality, full length ballet productions and provided numerous performance opportunities for dance students. This has all been made possible by the support of our community’s commitment to the arts and arts education.
​
We look forward to celebrating this landmark season at our Raising the Barre Gala on January 21, 2023, and we hope you will join us! This event will commemorate forty years of Tupelo Ballet, showcase our company members, and honor our graduating seniors. Our gala will also serve as a fundraising event to ensure the future of Tupelo Ballet.
