Dear Friends,

This year’s gala was particularly special because we had the chance to spend time catching up (and dancing) with old friends as we welcomed new ones to the Parsons family.  Thank you for celebrating with us.  Your generous spirit will help us continue to create new work, offer community and education programs, and perform throughout the world.  

Thanks so much to Gala honoree Denise Roberts Hurlin.  For many years, we have been awed by the energy and intelligence she has brought to helping artists find ways of making their lives better, and we cherish her ongoing appreciation for Parsons Dance. 

We are profoundly grateful to our Gala co-chairs Linda Stocknoff and Joyce Storey for leading us to the finish line.  Because of you, the event was a success!  We also wish to thank our entire Board of Directors, whose support and sound advice empowers us always. 

With gratitude,

Dave and Becca
