Thank you for visiting our fundraising page for Miller Lite Ride for the Arts!  This is my (Jonah's) fifth year riding for the Arts, and this year I have help from my sister, Ellen (and Mom and Dad).  Starting last year, I added the element of raising extra money online to support the arts, and raised over $500.  Not bad for 10...  So, this year, with two of us raising money, we thought we should set the goal at least twice as high.  Make no small plans!  We hope you will consider donating generously to support all the great Milwaukee arts groups, including First Stage Children's Theater, which Ellen will join this Summer for her first taste of professional theater.  Notice I didn't say "first taste of acting" because she is plenty dramatic already!

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support our fundraising efforts.  If you are the least bit uncomfortable with web transactions, we can take your donation directly; we just need to turn them in by the day of the ride, June 1st - which is just a few days away!  By the way, it's not too late to sign up to ride too.  It's a great event and the weather seems to be great every year.  We hope to see you out there riding, for the arts, or just for fun!  Anyway, no donation is too small (or too large!).  Dad said to remind everyone that tax rebates are on the way, in case you haven't decided what to do with yours yet...!  And even if we hit our goal of $1250, please consider a gift anyway... the arts in Milwaukee need our help.

Thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone else who you think might be willing to help us out!
