San Diego Civic Dance Association’s 2023 FNOT: Fundraising Night of Theater is our BIG annual fundraising event and review/preview show of our favorite choreography from the year before and some sneak peaks at the year ahead. We need you now more than ever! Prior to the Covid pandemic, SDCDA’s hard working volunteers raised over $150,000 annually to cover program costs. Like many nonprofits, we are still in recovery mode and we need your support. In addition, a lack of payment by the ticket company we used for our 77th Annual June 2023 recital shows has impeded our ability to properly fund our program. Please note - doors close at approximately 7:50 p.m. Plan ahead for parking! For more information visit: civicdancearts.org Stay Connected on Facebook
