The Celebration: On November16th, The San Francisco Ballet’s ENCORE! hosted a Holiday event at BCBGMAXAZRIA to showcase the ballet-inspired  Holiday 2010 collection.

The Cause: Fifteen percent of the evening’s proceeds benefited the San Francisco Ballet through ENCORE!, which creates premier social and educational events for young Bay Area men and women, while also enjoying opportunities to experience the world class San Francisco Ballet. ENCORE!’s goal is to offer its 200-plus members opportunities to experience the world class San Francisco Ballet while also enjoying a unique perspective from behind the scenes.

The Credentials: The exclusive holiday event at BCBGMAXAZRIA in San Francisco’s Union Square hosted a cocktail reception for members of San Francisco Ballet ENCORE!, who enjoyed champagne and hors d’oeuvres as they browed the ballet-inspired Holiday 2010 collection. All attendees were entered to win Nutcracker tickets for two, and received an exclusive gift bag.

Also join ENCORE!, at their upcoming events: Nutcracker Date Night on December 16, 2010 and their 2011 Opening Night Gala “La Belle Époque” on January 26th, 2011.
