Dear (Name, Fellow Professional):

This year, with (insert firm name's) help, several thousand people's lives will be enriched through cultural opportunities in greater Milwaukee. Through imaginative educational programs, exhilarating performances and dynamic community outreach initiatives, the performing arts organizations in our community bring their very best offerings to the widest possible audience. At the same time, these activities generate substantial economic activity and encourage both business development and corporate relocations in our area. The performing arts can benefit as much from us as we do from them.

I am writing to request that you support our cultural community with a donation to the United Performing Arts Fund's 2012 Annual Campaign. Your contribution to the campaign ensures our community's performing arts will continue to entertain, educate and inspire more than one million individuals of all ages and cultural and economic backgrounds.

It is a part of the founding philosophy of this company to help improve the lives of others through the services we offer. Supporting the arts improves the quality of life for southeastern Wisconsin and enriches the lives of our future leaders. Our firm can make a difference. This year's 2012 United Performing Arts Fund (UPAF) Campaign at (company) kicks off on (date) and runs through (date). With a minimum gift of $500, your name will be included in annual UPAF publications. Simply return your pledge card to (name) by (date).

Please give generously to the 2012 UPAF Campaign. We are counting on your support!
