The Nutcracker Syndrome Association
WHAT IS THE BALLET CAMPAIGN?
The Nutcracker Syndrome Ballet Campaign is a simple awareness initiative inviting ballet companies to include Nutcracker Syndrome information in their performance programs during the holiday season.
The Nutcracker Syndrome Association has created ready-to-use program graphics, QR codes, and text options that companies can easily include in their existing programs. By displaying one of these materials, ballet organizations can help introduce their audiences to Nutcracker Syndrome and bring greater awareness to a rare condition that is still widely misunderstood.
In return for their support, the NCSA will proudly help promote participating ballet companies and their seasonal performances through our social media platforms and Awareness Day campaign, giving our community another reason to support the organizations helping us shine a light on Nutcracker Syndrome.
There’s a unique connection behind this campaign: December 18th is not only Nutcracker Syndrome Awareness Day, but also the anniversary of the first public performance of The Nutcracker ballet in 1892!
Together, we're turning a beloved holiday tradition into an opportunity for awareness.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE:
Review the campaign materials, outreach options, and scripts.
Contact a local Nutcracker performance by email, phone, social media, or in person.
