What is the UPAF smART card?

UPAF donors of $75 or more to the 2008 Campaign receive the UPAF smART card, presented by AT&T. This donor benefit offers buy-one, get-one free tickets to one performance of each of the 16 UPAF Member groups during the 2007-08 performance season and the 2009 performance season.

In addition, your smART card also offers several online benefits tailored to your use of the card, including a personal smART card page to track your available and used benefits, benefit descriptions and a subscription to Arts Beat, UPAF's e-newsletter, that provides monthly performance information and performing arts news.
