Our 2011 – 2012 Individual Donors
Every day, people with disabilities and the people that support them are pushing upstream against the current of life. That’s why Upstream Arts donor levels are focused around the Mississippi River, an important landmark and source of energy, vitality, and community for Minnesotans. Starting with the headwaters at Lake Itasca, each river that flows into the Mississippi makes it a more powerful force. Likewise, each donation to Upstream Arts, starting with the foundation laid by our core group of donors at the Lake Itasca level, is essential to our sustainability. Thank you for bringing this energy, vitality, and community to Upstream Arts.
