Paw de Chat

📅 Date: Friday, August 16, 2025🕓 Time: 4:00 PM📍 Location: Madison Ballet, Madison, WI

Join us for an afternoon of dance, music, and compassion—all in support of two beloved cats, Leo and Boba. 🐾💛

Recently, Leo required emergency surgery, and Boba experienced two urinary blockages from the stress of Leo being in and out of the hospital. Their vet bills have grown quickly, and now we’re turning to our community to help—with a little help from the magic of ballet.

Paw de Chat (a playful spin on pas de chat) is a special fundraiser event at Madison Ballet, featuring:

🩰 Beginner Ballet Class – welcoming and fun for all ages and skill levels🎻 Live Cello Solo – performed by local solo cellist Alex Chambers-Ozasky🌟 Performance – enjoy a free performance by dancers of Madison Ballet🎟 Raffle Prizes – generously donated by local supporters🥂 Light Refreshments – sip and snack while mingling for a great cause

All proceeds from this event go directly toward covering medical expenses for Leo and Boba.

Donations are gratefully accepted through their GoFundMe:👉 https://gofund.me/16bcb496

Let’s come together to support two sweet cats who’ve been through so much—and celebrate the healing power of art, music, and community.

See you at the studio!
