Karen A. Engel Marie N. Massey Joe and Suzanne Seipel The 2019-20 Season ended abruptly in March 2020 with the onset of Covid-19 and Virginia and Sandy Evans Dick and Mickey Mateer Richard Shea Virginia’s need to shelter in place. At Richmond Ballet, we pivoted to virtual Minds In Motion Martha Alsop Faulkner Mr. and Mrs. Andy Mathews Dan and Peggy Siegel Susan Ferrell Bill and Jennifer McCorey Catherine Smith and School of Richmond Ballet classes but as time progressed, we had to let go of Ross and Alyson Fickenscher Sorrel and Jack McElroy Jeanne and Charlie Stallings company performances, in-person spring classes, Minds In Motion culminating performances Donna DeLara Fitzgerald Haley and Matt McLaren Julianne Stanton and our anticipated special events. We were compromised in our ability to fulfill expected Megan Fitzroy Phelan Cathy McLaren Susanne Stone experiences for ticket buyers, School of Richmond Ballet and Minds In Motion students, Jayne Flowers The McMahan Family Lewis and Tina Stoneburner as well as event sponsors. The following contributors selflessly converted their purchases Andrew Foard Ashley and Dan Millen Richard and Lucille Strauss James and Dianne Forsythe Dani Moon Cathleen Studdard and sponsorships to donations in response to the circumstances and we are grateful for Christopher and Courtney Freet Andrew T.
