| Buy a Brick, Build a Future |
|
Is there a dancer, dance enthusiast or unsung hero in the dance community you would like to recognize?
The DTRC's Buy a Brick, Build a Future campaign honours those who have made a significant contribution to dance in Canada, both on stage and off. Many key figures in Canadian dance have already been honoured on the Buy a Brick, Build a Future recognition wall.... but there are many names missing, and the deadline to purchase a brick is fast approaching!
A reception will be held in April
for all the honourees and for all those who have purchased a brick, along with an unveiling of the wall.
This year's deadline
to buy a brick is March 8th, 2010.
For more information, please contact
Zein Dhanidina, Development Manager, at development@dtrc.ca
or 416-595-5655 x 23 or visit our website: www.dtrc.ca
Funds raised through this campaign will directly support the retraining needs of DTRC members.
