Carrying Hope - Donation Tickets This year, Ballet Afrique has launched a very special Gift of Black Girl Magic campaign. Through a partnership with Carrying Hope, a 501c3 nonprofit that provides shelter and support services to Texas foster youth, donors will be able to gift the magical experience of Ballet Afrique’s “Nutcracker” to children who need it most.

The first 100 tickets donated through the Gift of Black Girl Magic Campaign will be directed toward children who will spend their holidays in group homes and their caregivers.

“Youth in foster care who are living in local shelters, residential treatment centers, and group homes have typically spent much of their lives focused on survival. As a result, it’s a rarity for them to get to experience the arts,” said Kristin Finan, executive director of Carrying Hope. “By giving these youths the opportunity to attend ‘Duke Ellington’s The Nutcracker Suite,’ Ballet Afrique is not only creating a once-in-a-lifetime experience for the children in foster care who we serve but is also making an important and lasting first impression of what dance, and dancers, should look like on a major stage.”
