ANNIVERSARY SOIRÉE 

The Joffrey Ballet Women’s Board celebrates its 25th Anniversary during the 2026–2027 season. To mark this milestone, current and former Women’s Board Presidents gathered for a special luncheon honoring the women whose legacy of leadership and advocacy helped shape one of Chicago’s premier cultural institutions. For a quarter century, the Women’s Board has been a driving force behind The Joffrey Ballet—championing artistic excellence, expanding access to dance through education and community engagement, and supporting the next generation of artists. Their philanthropy has opened doors for thousands of young people across Chicago while strengthening the Joffrey’s future. Throughout the anniversary season, The Joffrey Ballet will commemorate this milestone with special events and stories honoring the women whose enduring commitment continues to inspire generations of artists and audiences alike. joffrey.org
