Rosemarie Liscum Legacy Fund
Ballet Victoria established the Rosemarie Liscum Legacy Fund in June 2021, to honour the beloved President of the BV Board of Directors from 2008 to 2021, Rosemarie Liscum, who passed away in Victoria, BC in April 2021. Rosemarie’s tenacity to work toward her passion was inspiring and instrumental in the success and growth of the company.
Each season, BV awards funds to one or more deserving emerging artist(s) to support their development in dance. The BV Artistic Director selects the recipient(s) each season based on merit, looking for dancers who demonstrate qualities Rosemarie was known for: passion, empathy, hard work, dedication, humour, generosity, humility, and kindness.
Unless specified, the donation will be allocated to the area of greatest need. Contribution to this Legacy Fund can be made on an ongoing basis and a tax receipt will be issued by Ballet Victoria for the full amount of the donation. The fund is hosted by the Victoria Foundation and will be held in perpetuity.
