Dear Theatergoer and Art Lover,

Collide Theatrical is a Twin Cities based non-profit performing storytelling dance company.

We will be celebrating a decade of dance at our 11th Annual Gala on Saturday November 30,

2024 at The Mixed Blood Theater. The largest portion of the annual budget for Collide will be

raised at this event.

The four most important values for Collide are;

• Artistic Excellence: We strive to create original dance theater productions of the highest

caliber.

• Artistic Support: We have a long-standing commitment to support our artists through

continuing education, career development, and opportunities.

• Accessibility: We create work that is fundamentally accessible. Our productions are

easily understood, fiscally attainable, and created for multi-generational audiences. We

are dedicated to equity and diversity, and we strive to remove barriers that prevent

historically excluded populations from attending our shows or dancing with us.

• Respect: Creative work and collaboration is grown and nurtured from a place of mutual

respect and appreciation.

We are asking for your kind consideration and support by donating a silent auction item or

gift certificate for our event.

The funds raised with your donation will help support us continue to bring rich dance and

theatrical experiences into the vibrant Twin Cities arts community. In exchange for your

contribution, all donors will receive brand recognition in our event program, on social media

and email marketing campaigns, and our website. We anticipate attendance of 150-200 guests.

To donate, please fill out and return the enclosed Donation Agreement Form along with your

donation. A receipt for your donation will be mailed after our Gala to the address on the form.

Donations can be sent to COLLIDE- 755 Prior Ave N Suite 235H St Paul, MN 55104 or emailed to

Regina@collidetheatrical.org.

We sincerely thank you for your consideration of a donation. If you have any questions, please

With best regards,

Regina Peluso
