We're proud of our long-term partnership with the United Performing Arts Fund (UPAF), an organization that helps raise our community up through the magic of music, dance, song and theater.

As part of MGIC's annual workplace giving campaign, UPAF helped bring the arts to our Milwaukee home office this past week. On Tuesday, employees were treated to live elevator music in the morning, courtesy of violinist Tatiana Migliaccio. And on Thursday, Ben Dameron, Garrett Waite and Hannah Johnson from Wisconsin Conservatory of Music helped bring the idea of a “garage band” to life by performing in our parking garage over the lunch hour. Thank you, UPAF, for helping to cultivate such an amazing arts scene here in our hometown!
