The Tallahassee Ballet’s 30th Annual

Lisa C. Graganella Nutcracker Golf Classic

Monday, March 2, 2026

Seminole Legacy Golf Club

Our annual tournament is The Tallahassee Ballet’s largest fundraiser of the year. Proceeds from this event not only raise the supplemental funds needed to present quality ballet productions annually but also help to support our many community outreach programs, including DanceChance. Through this program, TTB provides tuition-free instruction to area youth in afterschool programs identified as 21st Century Community Learning Centers. Nine public elementary schools and one middle school participate in the DanceChance program.

This year’s tournament is held at the Seminole Legacy Golf Club. Participants enjoy first-class golf and a chance to win one of three top prizes, door prizes, and silent auction items donated by TTB’s Board of Directors, dancers, and local businesses, ranging from cruises to jewelry and gift certificates.
