Ok, I've raised the bar this year.  25 miles at $100/mile.  And dragging my dad the whole way...ouch. I can do the miles, but I need your help to raise the cash.

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page for the Miller Lite Ride for the Arts!  This will be my sixth year riding for the Arts, and my family will be riding too.  For the past two years, I have been raising money for the arts online, bringing in $500 the first year, and $1250 last year, when I rode 15 miles. This year, I have doubled my goal once more which means I need more of you to help.  The arts can be the first thing to suffer in tough times, but I know that with just a few small donations from a few more people, we can make this goal.  I hope you will consider donating generously to support all the great Milwaukee arts groups, including First Stage Children's Theater, which my sister Ellen will participate in this Summer. 

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, I can take your donation directly; I just need to turn them in by the day of the ride, June 7th.  That seems like a long way off, but it will be here soon, so please donate today!   By the way, it's not too late to sign up to ride too.  It's a great event and the weather is great every year.  I hope to see you out there riding for the arts, or just for fun!  Remember, no donation is too small (or too large!).  Even if we hit our goal of $2500, 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 out!
