Make-A-Wish Partnership
Make-A-Wish Partnership
On April 21, 2024 we had the honor and privilege to help make a young child's dream of becoming a ballerina come true. Memories were created that this child and her family will cherish forever. Ballet Spartanburg is a proud supporter of South Carolina's Make-A-Wish. Make-A-Wish is a nonprofit organization and their mission is "together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses" - Make-A-Wish.org.
