BAAD!25 CROWN JEWEL CLUB

BAAD! The Bronx Academy of Arts & Dance—in its inimitable style—will offer a one-of-a-kind 25th Anniversary Gala, and it’s our great honor to invite you to join the BAAD!25 Crown Jewel Club.

The Bling Ball supports BAAD!’s groundbreaking work and programming including our legendary festivals celebrating and supporting LGBTQ+, people of color and women artists and dancers, an innovative dance program for 6-9 year olds and helps us maintain and advance a safe and vital home for the arts in the Bronx.

As part of our 25th-year development efforts, we’re asking our BAAD! family to make a one-time contribution of $2,500, $5,000, $10,000, $25,000 (or more).

The BAAD!25 Crown Jewel Club will appear in special signage in our theater along with receiving the benefits listed below.

With your support, BAAD! can continue to provide a safe space in The Bronx for women, people of color and the LGBTQ+ community beyond our lifetime.
