Since 1981, the UPAF Ride for the Arts, sponsored by Miller Lite, has been UPAF's annual signature fundraising event to benefit the United Performing Arts Fund and the 32 performing arts groups it supports in Southeastern Wisconsin. It is a critical component of UPAF's long term strategy: nurturing new donors, volunteers and audience members for the performing arts through a fun and entertaining bike event. The 2012 Ride included nearly 7,000 riders and volunteers and incorporated the Daniel Hoan Memorial Bridge into three of its five routes. The Ride was concluded with a Finish Line Party for all participants at the Briggs & Stratton Backyard Stage on the Summerfest Grounds.
