Alvin Ailey Raffle

ALVIN AILEY AMERICAN DANCE THEATER

Are you ready? Here comes another of the many amazing perks to being in High 5's TRaC program...

I am raffling off 14 tickets - phenomenal seats - for next Tuesday's Alvin Ailey performance at City Center. That's this Tuesday, December 4th, 7pm. (The show is about an hour and a half.) We'd meet up at High 5 at 5:45 pm....

And it's not just tickets you win...

Starting at 5:45, winners of the raffle will come by High 5 for pizza (of course) and a special presentation on Alvin Ailey with our very own Dance TRaC instructor, Brian McCormick. Also in attendance will be 12 teens from the Abraham's House - a social service organization. We want you all to come tell them about your arts experiences... just mingle, eat, chat, hang out... basically, make them feel at home.

We're really trying to build our relationship with Alvin Ailey, to get more tickets for High 5 - for you! We need the raffle winners to write 300-500 words on your experience. Some hype we can send to Ailey so they know we can bring the young audience. We need your help!

So that's the deal.
"How do I enter this raffle?" you ask.

Simple:
SEND ME AN EMAIL with "Alvin Ailey" in the subject line. In the body of the email, please include a phone number where I can call you Monday night.

*Note: You can only get one ticket to this event. Anyone, from any TRaC class, can enter the raffle. I'll be doing the drawing Monday at 4pm. At that point I'll notify all the winners and apologize to all the... well, let's not call them names :)

So! If you are free from 5:45 to 8:30 on Tuesday night and wouldn't mind seeing Alvin Ailey at City Center from some of the best seats in the house, send me that email.... eost@high5tix.org

peace and dance,
eric
