beteful
The benefit has become a rallying cry for many Portland arts organization and civic groups, who have used their e-mail lists, Facebook pages and Twitter updates to alert people to OBT's perilous situation.

Dance United benefit
Then the national dance scene stepped in to help. The result is Friday's one-night-only Dance United benefit, featuring artists not only from OBT, but from a dozen of the country's top dance companies, including big names like the New York City Ballet, the San Francisco Ballet, the Houston Ballet and Seattle's Pacific Northwest Ballet.

Extraordinary
we should treat ourselves to an extraordinary evening of dance and help to ensure the future of the dancers. I especially loved when the dancers and the monks would physically interact. When they did so the distinct styles merged beautifully.

Funding Shortfall
Although I live in Bend and do not get over to Portland to see your performances, I know that White Bird is a unique cultural treasure in the Northwest. I used to be on the Board of the Barclay Theater in Irvine, California, also a presenter of dance. I heard from Doug Rankin, the General Manager, there that White Bird was going to have a benefit. I will be sending a contribution in honor of Doug and your work. Lois Jeffrey
Hi Lois, Thanks so much for
Hi Lois,
Thanks so much for your support. Just to clarify, the benefit is for Oregon Ballet Theatre, not White Bird. We are supporting OBT and presenting Minh Tran as part of the event. OBT is facing a $750,000 budget shortfall, and needs to raise the money by the end of this fiscal year (July 1) or faces closure.
