Pointe Ball benefitting the Alabama Ballet

On Jan. 24, the Alabama Ballet will host an evening of dinner and dancing at the 14th annual Pointe Ball.

Proceeds from the Pointe Ball, the organization’s largest fundraiser, underwrite approximately 10 percent of the ballet’s operating budget and make extensive education and scholarship programs possible. Pointe Ball 2014 is co-chaired by Lindsey Lacey and Jessica Naftel. Honorary chairs are Susan and Wyatt Haskell. The corporate chair is George E. Wilbanks.

The event begins with an intimate performance by Alabama Ballet’s professional company members in the Ball Room of The Club. Following the performance, guests along with Artistic Director Tracey Alvey and members from the company will enjoy a gourmet dinner with night views of Birmingham. As dessert is served, the Soul Searchers take the stage to provide fantastic music for guests to enjoy on the dance floor.

Tickets to Pointe Ball are $400 per person or $650 per couple. To purchase tickets, call Stacey Turner at 322-4300. For sponsorship information, contact Executive Director Megan R. Cottle at 322-1259.
