The Tallahassee Ballet is among the arts groups that have endured two years of state funding cuts.
CEO Lauren Hernandez hopes the "2nd Annual Bevs Bites and Ballet Benefit Gala" on November 13 at The Moon will help fill the gap.
"This fundraiser will help support the loss of state funding that has occurred now 2 years in row," Hernandez wrote in an email about the gala. "We have unfortunately lost around $115,000 in 2024 and now the same in 2025, which as you can imagine for an arts non-profit is a significant loss to our budget."
The ballet company has a season of performances, including The Nutcracker. In addition to various class offerings, it also has paid dancer positions.
The gala will include entertainment, food from Hayward House Bistro, and a silent auction.
