UPAF Ride for the Arts

Sponsored by Miller Lite

Sunday June 3, 2012

Team MYSO

This annual bike ride (not a race!), held the first Sunday in June, benefits the United Performing Arts Fund, one of the nation’s largest united arts funds serving Southeast Wisconsin. In addition to raising and allocating operating funds for 37 groups in our area, UPAF is enhancing its value to the community, donors and performing arts by serving as a community wide resource for developing the excellence, reputation and impact of our performing arts. The ride is the culminating event of UPAF’s annual campaign. MYSO is a beneficiary of UPAF funds and could not exist without their support; we are committed to helping them as much as we can in this effort!

Ride on ... click here to register

When you are registering online you will be asked if you would like to register as an individual or as a part of a team… you are part of Team MYSO!!! You can select MYSO from a pull-down menu and then enter the password (mysoride2012) Registering as a part of Team MYSO is a great way to help us show how much MYSO supports UPAF. Plus, you get a cool ride t-shirt with the MYSO logo on it!

Win cool prizes for getting pledges!

Also, be sure to check out the article on pledge prizes. There are some great prizes, plus be sure to check out the feature that allows you to create your own fundraising website that you can send to your family and friends. It is SO easy to set up and allows anyone who wants to support you to easily make a contribution online. Again, make sure you link yourself to Team MYSO! It will still track your fundraising individually for prize purposes but will also assure that you're counted toward what we hope will be a huge MYSO team! Click here for a pledge form.

If you're not a rider...

If you want to be a part of the ride but haven’t gotten on a bike in awhile, you can register as an honorary rider. Just go through the registration process above and on the application there will be a pull-down menu of routes. One of the routes is "Friend of the Ride." You still get the cool MYSO t-shirt and the rider perks.......without having to actually get on a bike!

If you would rather volunteer, click here to submit your information.
