My name is Natalie Page, and I am the Silent Auction Chair of the Dallas Repertoire Ballet (DRB) which is the non-profit arm of Academy of Dance Arts studio in Allen, TX. We are gearing up for our 30th Anniversary performance of The Nutcracker, December 8th – 10th to be held at The Eisemann Center in Richardson. I have included information below about our organization and event.

The DRB’s Nutcracker production (named one of the top performances in DFW with attendance of over 500+ throughout the weekend) offers children ages 4 to 18 an opportunity to dance in a professional quality production, cultivating the love of ballet and performing arts in not only the student dancers but in the audience as well. A show of this caliber comes with professional quality expenses (around $130K annually). This performance is able to operate in large part due to the generous support of individual donors who believe in its non-profit mission and the magic it brings to the season.

During our Sugar and Snow Fundraising Gala on September 30, 2023, we will hold a silent auction to help with the cost of the production. Many of our students, their families, and patrons of the show are from Collin and Dallas counties, and we are looking for donations of items to include in the auction.

Donors will be featured in our full-color souvenir program, on our social media account during auction highlight posts leading up to the event, and highlighted beside their donated item at the physical auction and on our online bidding platform.

As a non-profit in the arts, and in an effort to continue the legacy of The Nutcracker, we would truly appreciate your support.
