Event Description

“As a city known for world-class arts and culture, Cleveland deserves a great ballet company.” – Dick Pogue

There is only one Dick Pogue; and there is only one event like this that will pay tribute – with joy and zest – to his life-long civic leadership and philanthropy. You are invited to join us in celebrating an extraordinary Clevelander and one of our region’s most extraordinary events.

In honor of Dick and the late Pat Pogue’s love of ballet and Dick’s tireless efforts as Chairman of the Cleveland Ballet Board, proceeds of this event will inaugurate The Richard W. and Patricia R. Pogue Cleveland Ballet Endowment Fund.
