75% there and 5 days to go!
We're at $11,300, 75% of our $15,000 goal. We're only $3,700 away from being 100% funded. And when we reach that $15,000 goal, that sum will be matched by another $15,000. Thanks to everyone who brought us to where we are today. (And to those of you who have come back and upped your pledges, we are tremendously grateful for your powerful vote of confidence. ) If everyone would take a brief moment to share this link with a friend or two and tell them why you think Global Union is an important event for Milwaukee, we'll cover that remaining 25% with time to spare.

ALL THE ABOVE PLUS VIP Parking for both days of the Festival. Instead of the eagle-eyed slow cruise through Bay View wishing and hoping and thinking and praying for an open spot, you and the friends in your vehicle drive straight to the Humboldt Park Band Shell where you will be greeted by one of our amiable and exceedingly attractive volunteers and shown to your very own parking place mere steps away from the Festival. Talk about eliciting awe and envy.

Want to amp up the envy and awe factor? How about a beer with that VIP parking? You and three friends get ALL THE ABOVE PLUS the VIP Backstage Pass for one set – first come, first choose for each of our six artists. You meet the artist. You have that aforementioned beer. A truly delicious sandwich. You get an extraordinarily groovy backstage pass. (It’s laminated!) And you watch that set from backstage where the energy is unmatched because you can see a few thousand people grooving to the music that’s right next to you.

Thank you, Elaine. It really would be that simple. If the people like yourself who have already generously pledged to Global Union would forward this link to their friends and colleagues and networks, we would be there with time to spare.

If everyone who goes to this incredible event pledges $10, they would be far over their goal. Come on, Milwaukee world music lovers, do you really want to have to travel for a festival as great as this one?
