On Wednesday, August 10 Rochester City Ballet will host the summer’s most fabulous event! Our largest annual fundraiser is back and better than ever with the glitz and glam theme Ballet Soirée: Diamonds & Dice held at the stunning Lake House on Canandaigua. Featuring performances from Rochester City Ballet, delicious food and cocktails, Las Vegas-style gaming tables, live music, and more, this incredible evening is not one to miss.

The most highly anticipated portion of the evening is our live and silent auctions. Prominently displayed throughout the evening, auction items showcase businesses, organizations, and experiences that highlight what our community has to offer.

Rochester City Ballet would like to respectfully request your support for this year’s Soirée. We invite you to consider donating an item(s) to be featured at our silent auction. Soirée brings together our region’s most affluent and influential business and civic leaders and philanthropists in support of the Ballet, and we would love to highlight a donation item of your choosing at our event. To express our gratitude, RCB will place recognition of all auction donors live at our event, in our event program, and listed as in-kind sponsors on our website.

Every child deserves the chance to see and experience the performing arts. RCB is committed to making dance accessible through its educational and community outreach, with programming in the Rochester City School District, the Boys & Girls Club, community centers, and specially produced sensory friendly productions that allow families with special needs to experience the joy of live dance. Our single largest fundraiser event of the year, this event sees community leaders, business owners, patrons, and Rochester community members come together to ensure RCB can continue to fund these important programs.
