For the next 24 hours, we have a BIG challenge for

For the next 24 hours, we have a BIG challenge for cast, families and supporters of The Nutcracker Sweet: to do something SMALL. (confused? keep reading!)

In seven weeks we will take the stage for opening night without Tristi McMaster Robinson in the wings. It won’t be easy without her, but as our artistic director for more than a decade, we know she would be so proud of her husband, children, friends, colleagues and all of the performers and parents who have worked tirelessly to ensure the show must go on.

The Nutcracker Sweet has always been a story of hundreds of children and volunteers, each with their own SMALL role to play in collectively creating BIG magic.

And so we have a challenge for you, with a little fun (ticket giveaway!) thrown in, just the way Tristi would like it! Will you help us honor Tristi’s legacy by making a $2 donation in her memory right now? If each of you takes a moment to make this SMALL donation, collectively we can make a BIG difference. Find the link to give in our bio, and in stories.

After you donate, comment on this post to let us know you helped us honor Tristi today. When we reach $100 in donations, we’ll randomly select one of you to win a free ticket to this year’s show! At $200, there will be a second winner! And at $300, there will be a third! The sooner you join in, the more chances you’ll have to win.

To enter the giveaway, after you donate (PayPal link in bio and stories), comment below letting us know you’re supporting us today! For an additional entry, tag someone that won’t want to miss this. Ticket winners will be contacted by this account only. As always, be cautious of online accounts requesting personal information.

The Nutcracker Sweet has given thousands of children from across the Richmond area the opportunity to perform in this memorable show. As a non-profit, we rely on the local community for partnerships and financial assistance. This year we have one of our largest (and youngest) casts ever! This fundraiser will help us to meet the costuming needs for this year’s cast.

Ticket giveaway ends at 8pm on 10/17/24, and is not affiliated with Meta.
