The Greater Milwaukee Foundation is celebrating 100 years of service in 2015 by providing the public with unique experiences that showcase the people, places and opportunities that make our community special. These centennial Gifts to the Community are made possible through our donors’ legacy of generosity and the Foundation’s enduring partnerships with nonprofits throughout the region. A new Gift to the Community will be announced each month, emphasizing access and demonstrating appreciation for the remarkable resources greater Milwaukee has to offer.
The Greater Milwaukee Foundation’s June gift will bring the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra’s music to the broader community this summer. MSO will perform two, free outdoor concerts as part of the Foundation’s centennial celebration. The festive performances will take place in early July and feature more than an hour of patriotic favorites. There is no advance registration, reserved seating or ticketing.
