The Giving Hope Through Faith Foundation is an organization that aids families with children who have been diagnosed with cancer or other life-threatening diseases. The foundation was started by Sherry and Dirk Tucker who lost their own son, Zachary, to cancer at a very young age.

Brandon Ballet provided an opportunity for the families of the foundation to enjoy the performance of "Cinderella" at no cost, as well as a back-stage tour and a behind-the-scenes tour of a rehearsal at The Dance Center.
