Nutcracker Family Benefit

On behalf of New York City Ballet and the School of American Ballet, thank you for your support of the 2025 Nutcracker Family Benefit.

With your generosity and holiday spirit, this year’s sold-out event was the highest-grossing Nutcracker Family Benefit to date, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Proceeds raised during this event benefit New York City Ballet and its education programs as well as the School of American Ballet’s Scholarship Fund. Wishing you and your families a joyful holiday season, and we hope you will join us again next year!

If you wish to make a tax-deductible contribution in honor of the event, please visit our Donation Page.

*A minimum contribution of $2,000 total is required to be listed on the Land of Sweets Committee.

The non-deductible portion of each ticket is $350. We regret that all charitable contributions and benefit event tickets are non-refundable. Due to their fair market value, tickets and tables may not be purchased with Donor Advised Funds. 

If you prefer to pay with a check or wire transfer, please submit to School of American Ballet at 70 Lincoln Center Plaza, New York, NY 10023 and alert the Special Events team at rkerber@sab.org
