Joburg Ballet BackaBuddy

Joburg Ballet’s BackaBuddy page was created in November 2020 and has been aimed at projects to be run for Joburg Ballet and by Joburg Ballet when it concerns acting as benefactor to our two existing charities of choice, Kitty and Puppy Haven and Teddy Bear Clinic.

To our kind patrons and donors who deposited into Joburg Ballet’s BackaBuddy page, none of this would have been possible without you! No matter how small, every amount donated is treasured and has seen us raise over R70 000.

With the help of Friends of the Ballet, Friends with Threads and our patrons, the list of achievements through BackaBuddy since November 2020 range from purchasing over 60 stationary packs for children and pregnant teen moms, books for children, supplementing Kitty and Puppy Haven with dog food, cat food, tick and flea powder and treats, cash donations to both charities and implementing a Wellness programme for dancers.
