Title Sponsor
THOMAS ALAN BUDD FOUNDATION
- Pirouette is a spectacular evening that raises funds for Ballet Kelowna. All for the dance company that has attracted critical and popular acclaim throughout Western Canada and is one of only ten professional ballet companies in the country. Pirouette is held annually to provide critical funding for programs and operations. Due to generous sponsorship and donations from people like you, Pirouette has raised net revenues of $470,000 over the past four years.
- Those much needed funds support our corps of dancers to inspire, educate and entertain - both in our home city, but also in more than 30 smaller centres throughout British Columbia and Alberta that Ballet Kelowna performs in every year.
“Pirouette was truly superb. Hands down one of the best fundraising events we’ve had the pleasure of attending.”

“We’re thrilled to have the very best chefs in the Valley preparing a feast that celebrates where we live,” states Jamie Maw. Stuart Klassen, executive chef of the Delta Grand Okanagan, will again open his kitchens to host Rod Butters, chef/owner, RauDZ Regional Table; Bernard Casavant, executive chef, Manteo Resort; Mark Filatow, chef and sommelier, Waterfront Restaurant; Gerry Jobe, Liquid Chef, RauDZ Regional Table; Sandrine Raffault-Martin, chef/owner Sandrine French Pastry & Chocolate and Roger Sleiman, winery chef, Quails’ Gate Old Vines Restaurant.
