Undertaking the role of chair for SF Ballet’s Opening Night Gala is no small task. I’m charged with the responsibility of leading a team of 15 steering committee chairs, as well as dozens of committee members and volunteers. In addition, I’ve worked closely with the staff of the Ballet Association for almost 12 months with the dual goals of raising funds to support the Ballet through this event, while heightening awareness of the Ballet in our community. I’m averaging 15-20 hours a week on this project – wow, who knew!
Special thanks goes out to Décor Chair Karen Murphy, and Blueprint Studios, our décor/designer, for their hard work. Below is an image of Helgi Tomasson that we used for the gala invitation; I think it’s very fitting for the occasion, given that the event is in honor of his 25th anniversary with the Company!
