Record Goal Reached by UPAF Campaign
|
 $11,005,419!
Under the leadership of this year's three UPAF Campaign Co-Chairs - Chuck Harvey, Gail Lione and Skip Poliner - UPAF surpassed its $11 million record-setting goal by raising $11,005,419. This is more than a 10% increase over last year's goal and almost a 9% increase over total dollars raised in 2012. This announcement was made at the UPAF Campaign Finale which took place at the Ride Finish Line Party at the Briggs & Stratton Big Backyard stage on the Summerfest Grounds. We extend our deep gratitude to the more than 20,000 individuals, companies and foundations that contributed this year to UPAF. It is inspirational to see firsthand the passion that exists to ensure we sustain exceptional performing arts in Southeastern Wisconsin. |
