Dance Festival Fund Aims for Growth
The Laguna Beach Community Foundation provides investment services for Laguna Dance Festival’s newly opened reserve fund.
Establishing the fund signifies the organization’s growth and community support, said Joy Dittberner, the festival’s executive director. “Our goal is to continue growing our reserve fund, enabling LDF to offer educational scholarships to aspiring Southern California dancers and choreographers,” she said in a statement.
Dan Pingaro, the foundation’s executive director, said “these are the kinds of partnerships that strengthen our community.”
The festival’s annual concert series is set for Sept. 22-25.
