Northwestern Mutual /UPAF Fundraiser

Join your Northwestern Mutual peers for this year’s fundraising event - “Arts Healing the Soul” - benefitting the United Performing Arts Fund (UPAF).

Northwestern Mutual has partnered with Campus Survival Kits to offer a selection of care packages which can be sent to anyone who could use some extra cheer in this socially-distanced environment. Purchase a Survival Kit from featured on this page, March 11-19, and Campus Survival Kits will donate 15% of the purchase price to UPAF on your behalf!

Consider sending a care package to loved ones you haven’t been able to visit due to social distancing, order Easter baskets for your children or family members, or plan a movie/game night at home!

Thank you for your support!

 
 

 What is UPAF?

 The United Performing Arts Fund is an umbrella fundraising organization in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. UPAF supports 14 member groups, including First Stage, Florentine Opera Company, Milwaukee Ballet, Milwaukee Repertory Theater, Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra and Skylight Music Theatre, as well as numerous affiliate groups.

 Through donations made to UPAF, these arts groups don’t just perform - they bring the joy of dancing/singing/acting/playing to hard-to-reach areas of the community.

  •  They pays fees so kids who can’t afford the fees to perform at dance recitals, can.

  •  They provide costumes and dance shoes to children who are otherwise prevented from pursuing the arts by financial barriers.

  •  The arts teach many skills valued in employees of Northwestern Mutual such as confidence in public speaking, the ability to memorize talking points for a presentation, empathy for others, and so much more.
