Dear (Name, Fellow Professional):

Each year, the United Performing Arts Fund asks people like you and me to contribute to the maintenance and growth of Milwaukee's cultural life through the performing arts. Today, groups such as the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, Florentine Opera, Milwaukee Ballet, Skylight Opera Theatre, Ko-Thi Dance Company, Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra, and many others benefit from the funds raised by UPAF.

Please join me in contributing to UPAF. I hope that you and your family are active arts participants. Our community's performing arts are world-class and not to be missed. Will you join me in supporting the performing arts, which are vital to our quality of life and the economic health of our community?

You will be recognized in annual UPAF publications when you give a gift of $500 or more. Of course, a gift of any size will be appreciated. Please give as generously as you can, and return it to me by (date). Thank you in advance for your support.

Sincerely,
