In any given year, PHILADANCO!’s performances, workshops, classes, and presentations reach tens of thousands of people. We truly would not be able to do all that WE do without the MANY people who help us in all the ways that THEY do:
- Audiences who purchase tickets for our concerts
- Parents and grandparents who introduce their children to the beauty of dance through our performances
- Fashion lovers who donate clothes for our flea markets and then the many who come and buy
- Volunteers who sew costumes, staff ticket tables, hand out programs… just do whatever is needed!
And, of course, we could not survive without financial support. We are grateful to each, and every person and organization listed below, but we also are sustained and energized by everyone who supports our Danco Dollar Days or gives us the proceeds of their bake sale, lemonade stand, or donates a few stamps to the office. If your name is not included below from this past year, our apologies for the oversight, but please know that you are part of the community that keeps us going… day in and day out… for over 52 years now.
We thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
