Pointe Shoe Fund
What secrets do pointe shoes hold?
Life is short…
The average life in use is about ten hours.
We are shaped by love…
Ballerinas sew, superglue, shape, mold and soften their pointe shoes to prepare them.
The moment is everything…
It takes so much — satin, muscle, discipline, will and your support— to create that uplifting moment of ethereal beauty.
Your support sustains beauty...
ABT allocates $500,000 of the annual budget toward pointe shoes for its dancers.
Make a donation of $100 or more to the Pointe Shoe Fund by December 31 and your gift will be MATCHED! And you’ll become an ABT Member! Devoted ABT donor Steven Backes will match every dollar given to the Pointe Shoe Fund between now and December 31! Your $100 gift becomes $200.

Make your donation by December 31 and it will be MATCHED!
