Thanks to your unwavering support, CCD has raised over $150,000 through individual donations, sponsorships, and personal loans from community members.

We did it!

When we started this journey, many believed there was no way CCD could raise over $150,000—more than we had ever raised in a calendar year before—all in less than two months. With four days until our deadline, we have met and exceeded our goal, raising $156,678.38 in total!

We want to especially thank everyone who gave to the Save CCD fundraising campaign.

While this is a time for celebration and gratitude, the work continues. This support will carry us through the next season of dance, ensuring that our fall 2025 and spring 2026 classes will happen, enabling us to produce the 2025 Nutcracker. However, we still must raise enrollment, ticket sales, and community engagement to reach long-term sustainability.

If you’ve stuck with us through this adventure, we believe we can count on your support. Word-of-mouth is, and has always been, our top-cited marketing channel, meaning students (youth and adult), audience members, and the community learn about us and our work through your voice.

In order of importance, you can help CCD reach long-term sustainability by:

1. Referring new students (youth and adults). Growing enrollment is our number one priority!
2. Setting up a monthly, recurring donation on Colorado Gives. Financial support is the best way to help us reach sustainability.
3. Volunteering. With reduced staff and hours, volunteers have become more critical than ever before.

We believe we will reach sustainability, but we can’t do it alone. We need you! Let’s keep dance thriving in our community, and let’s work together to keep CCD’s doors open for generations.
