Pointeworks Season 2 Patrons

Archived Giving Circles (2025)

Honoring the generosity that shaped an unforgettable season.

Season 2 marked a powerful year of growth for Pointeworks—new commissions by exceptional women creators, expanded community access initiatives, and performances that brought together artists and audiences in bold, inspiring ways. None of it would have been possible without the individuals and partners whose philanthropy fueled our mission.

This archived page celebrates the donors who invested in the future of ballet by supporting Pointeworks during our 2025 season. Their contributions helped bring world-class artists to San Diego, sustain equitable employment for dancers and choreographers, and open our doors to students, veterans, families, and new audiences across our community.

With deep gratitude, we thank our Season 2 Patrons for believing in the power of creation, collaboration, and access to the arts.
Their impact continues to echo into every new season.
