Volunteer Corps
- Esprit de Corps!

Dear Friends of Ballet Yuma,

Esprit de Corps is an organization dedicated to contributing to the success of Ballet Yuma. In appreciation for the excellent instruction that the students receive and the extraordinary dedication of the directors and the dancers of Ballet Yuma, a group of parents joined together to form a Parent Partnership. Recognizing that tuition does not contribute at all to the non-profit side, our Parent Partnership strives to benefit the students, the Academy and the Ballet Yuma organization. This is accomplished through fundraising and volunteerism, and promotes a sense of community within Ballet Yuma and the Yuma Ballet Academy.

The mission of Esprit de Corps is to establish and maintain a network of supporters and volunteers dedicated to serving the needs of Ballet Yuma. By combining our energies, resources and talents, we strive to enhance and enrich the learning and performance experiences of our children. Membership with Esprit de Corps is automatic to adult family members of students at Yuma Ballet Academy.  Some of the fundraisers that Esprit de Corps orchestrates each year are listed below. We are always looking for volunteers, so let us know if anything looks interesting to you or if you have any ideas of your own!

  • Gold Canyon Candle Sale
  • Paul Bensel Jewelry Raffle
  • Clara's Crown Raffle
  • Boutique Sales (performances)
  • Concessions (performances)
  • Flower Sales (performances)
  • Golf Tournament
  • Citrus Sale

Esprit de Corps would like to thank you, the families of our dancers and our community supporters, for your efforts and commitment to the continued success of Ballet Yuma. We welcome you to our organization!

Warmest Regards,
Adele Hennig

Chairman
