Dear Community Partner:
We are writing to seek your support for Connecticut Concert Ballet (CCB) by sponsoring this year’s Holiday Nutcracker Ballet.
Founded in 1973, CCB is a 501(c)(3) non-profit classical ballet school that has quietly grown to be one of the crown jewels in the Connecticut arts and entertainment community. In fact, over the past 10 years, CCB has grown into one of the top classical ballet training schools in New England. CCB was voted “Best Dance School” in the 2013 & 2014 Hartford Magazine Reader’s Poll.
Located in Manchester and Windsor, Connecticut, our school is producing classically trained ballet dancers of exceptional national level quality, and many of our students are entering the most elite ballet programs in the country, including American Ballet Theatre, Boston Ballet, Houston Ballet and Miami City Ballet, to name a few. With over 300 students ranging from 3 to 18 years in age and coming from over 30 towns in the greater Hartford region, Connecticut Concert Ballet is making a real difference in our communities and helping prepare our children for success.
For over 40 years, CCB has been presenting annual performances of the Nutcracker Ballet, which is a traditional holiday favorite among young and old alike. Our Nutcracker is a highly acclaimed, professional level production that entertains thousands in our local community year after year. This year’s Nutcracker is shaping up to be another magnificent event which will be seen by over 4,000.
By supporting CCB you are helping to bring high quality, classical performing arts to thousands in your community. Additionally, your sponsorship will help to sustain the continued growth and success of one of the finest classical performing arts schools in Connecticut, and continue to enable over 300 students to enjoy a uniquely valuable educational opportunity. Classical ballet schools are far and few between, and schools of our caliber are even rarer. CCB provides our community something exceptionally special.
With both great pride and a deep sense of gratitude to our supporting community sponsors, we appreciate whatever financial support you can offer to our school by sponsoring this year’s Nutcracker or by advertising in our Nutcracker Program Book. In anticipation of your interest, we have included additional information on our Nutcracker Advertising Sponsorship Opportunities, a School Fact Sheet & Media Coverage Sheet, and Order Form.
Thank you for supporting a 40 Year Nutcracker Tradition and Connecticut Concert Ballet!
Yours Truly,
Wendy Fish-Lawrence & David Lawrence,
Artistic Directors
