Tucson Federal Credit Union Partners with Ballet Tucson to Make Dance Accessible to Underserved Students

Posted by on December 17, 2025

Supporting opportunities that inspire and uplift children is central to Tucson Federal Credit Union’s mission. Through its Nutcracker Prince sponsorship of Ballet Tucson’s The Nutcracker, taking place December 19–21 at the Linda Ronstadt Music Hall, TFCU is helping ensure Pima County children can continue to experience the arts in meaningful and educational ways.

The sponsorship supports Ballet Tucson’s vital education and outreach initiatives as well as the main stage production. The KidzTIX program provides free tickets to Tucson students from Title 1 schools and the Best Foot Forward program brings dance education directly into underserved schools.

“After serving Tucson for over 88 years, we really understand the value of the traditions that have lasted over time,” said TFCU COO Krystal Adams, a former ballerina herself. “It is a genuine honor for us to support this cherished holiday tradition — one that has truly become a fundamental part of our community’s story across generations.”

TFCU’s connection to education runs deep within the organization. From its foundation by public high school teachers in 1937, to its free lunch for all TUSD teachers during a professional development day, to staff regularly volunteering to teach financial literacy in middle schools, TFCU is at the heart of Tucson and education.

“We are deeply grateful for TFCU’s support,” said Lisa Robinson, Fundraising Consultant for Ballet Tucson. “Partnerships like this enable us to continue our mission of providing inspiring and innovative dance experiences while expanding our community outreach efforts. This gift strengthens our dancers, and future dancers.”
