Relief & Recovery Fund – Join the Academy Team

Triple Your Impact and Support the Relief & Recovery Fund!

Join Academy staff, teachers and students as we keep Colorado Ballet 60 years strong! After canceling two productions this season and losing 60 percent of our ticketing revenue, we have launched the Relief & Recovery Fund with a goal of raising 3 million dollars to cover a portion of the lost ticketing revenue. Right now, any gift made to the Relief & Recovery Fund through November 15th will be tripled by a generous couple who want to inspire others to support the arts during this critical time. Visit the Relief & Recovery Fund to make a gift or join the Academy fundraising team and help us reach our goal of $10,000. Together we are strong!

How can I tell the difference between COVID-19, the flu or a common cold?

Flu and common cold symptoms can be similar to COVID-19, but there are some differences. If your child is feeling sick or having difficulty breathing, you should call your primary care provider. The best way for them to tell the difference between COVID-19 and other viruses is by giving your child a test. Depending on your child’s symptoms, your primary care provider may recommend that as the next step.
