Leave a legacy of HOPE. 

From the construction of the Historic Moorland YMCA building to the birth of Dallas Black Dance Theatre, there has always existed a community of support in Dallas.

A community that has kept alive the rich history and tradition found in Dallas Black Dance Theatre and allowed it to flourish, even in the face of a tumultuous political climate.

But you are needed. 

Whether you are brand new to dance or Dallas Black Dance Theatre, or you are a seasoned supporter, you make it possible for the next generation of artists like McKinley Willis to achieve their dreams of becoming a professional dancer.

A Dallas native, McKinley began taking classes in the Dallas Black Dance Academy when she was only 7. Through the encouragement of her mentors, McKinley continued to grow, developing her skills and creative expression, and her love for dance.

Today, McKinley is now in her third season with Dallas Black Dance Theatre’s main company, performing across the globe for audiences of all ages.

You make it possible for the youth who, like McKinley, aspire to lead the next generation of art and artists.

As you stand on the shoulders of the generations who came before you, who gave what they could to see their dreams come to life, it is hard not to be reminded of the deep and lasting tradition of community support that has existed for over a century in Dallas.

Preserve this tradition with your gift now.

You will make it possible for the rich history and tradition found in Dallas Black Dance Theatre to flourish in the city you love.

You will keep Dallas Black Dance Theatre as a symbol of inclusion for the city.

Join the community of dedicated supporters by December 31 and you will do so much more than experience the joy of giving – you will continue the legacy and make history.

GIVE BY DECEMBER 31 AND CONTINUE THE LEGACY
