The Principal’s Circle is a distinguished group of supporters, community leaders, and partners whose significant annual contributions form a cornerstone of Miami City Ballet’s philanthropic support. Established during the Company’s historic 30th Anniversary Season through a gift from Charlie Cinnamon, the Principal’s Circle honors the extraordinary vision, tenacity, and generosity of our Founder, Toby Lerner Ansin. Recognition is based on cumulative giving, including gifts and pledges, made during the fourteen months prior to September 2026.
