Dear Civic Families,

It’s time to fill our Nutcracker Gift Card Tree!

Our annual 12 Days of Christmas Gift Card Tree is one of Bakersfield City Ballet’s fundraisers, helping support the live orchestra that makes our Nutcracker performances so special. Having live musicians perform alongside our dancers creates an unforgettable experience for both our performers and audiences, and we need your help to make it possible!

How You Can Help:

We have created a SignUpGenius with the specific gift cards and amounts needed for our 12 days of prizes. Families can select a gift card from the list, purchase it, and donate it to the fundraiser.

Prefer to make a monetary donation? Cash, checks, and Zelle donations are also welcome! We will use these contributions to purchase the gift cards needed to complete our prize packages. Donations of any amount are greatly appreciated.

To donate via Zelle:

· Open Zelle through your banking app.

· Send your donation to 661-345-5012

· Enter “Gift Card Tree” in the memo so we can identify your donation.

· Please confirm that Bakersfield City Ballet is the recipient before sending.

Our 12 Days of Christmas Gift Card Tree runs November 9th–20th! During these 12 days, we encourage our families to help spread the word and sell tickets to friends and family. With exciting prizes awarded each day, it’s a fun way for our community to support Bakersfield City Ballet and the magic of live music!

Thank you for your continued generosity and support. Together, we can make this fundraiser a success and help continue the tradition of bringing The Nutcracker to life with a live orchestra!

If you have any questions, please reach out to me!

Warmly,

Kathryn Rider
Vice President
