 WHY RAISE PLEDGES?  

Your entry fee for the UPAF Ride for the Arts, sponsored by Miller Lite, helps to cover the costs of the event. Donating an additional amount to the Ride yourself, or collecting pledges from family and friends, is a great way to increase the impact you have on Milwaukee's cultural, educational and economic future.

 

UPAF is essential to sustaining the thriving, diverse and distinct performing arts scene we enjoy in Southeastern Wisconsin.

  • As an umbrella organization, UPAF supports a breadth of performing arts groups that collectively offer something for everyone through its Member Groups and Affiliates.

  • UPAF Member Groups touch more than one million people through performances, educational outreach, special events and community partnerships each year.
