Révérence Circle | Planned Giving

In ballet, a révérence is a bow or curtsey performed by a dancer to show their respectful admiration and gratitude to an instructor or to the audience at the end of a performance. OBT’s Révérence Circle recognizes those who have made a legacy gift through a will, estate plan or other form of living trust–a symbolic curtsey or bow to OBT through their bequest.
