Grand Rapids Ballet is jumping into action to support the refugees in Ukraine by hosting a special donation-based performance of Jumpstart 2022 on Saturday, March 26 at 2 p.m. “The conflict in Ukraine and resulting refugee crisis is a horrific tragedy that the world is currently enduring. As artists, we sometimes feel helpless to make a difference, but one thing we can do is use our art to promote the common good,” said Artistic Director James Sofranko. “Please come support this cause and join me in thanking the dancers, actors, musicians, and crew members who are all donating this performance to the people of Ukraine displaced by war.” All tickets will be “donate what you can” with a suggested $20 minimum donation with all proceeds benefiting United Way’s United for Ukraine Fund to support an immediate delivery of food, shelter, transportation, and childcare supplies to those fleeing the conflict. Grand Rapids Ballet will accept cash or card donations, and the performance is first come, first served. Our hearts go out to all those affected, and we hope you consider joining us at this special performance.
