Miller Lite Ride for the Arts

Sunday, June 11 was a perfect day for a bike ride. More than 50 ATC employees and family members joined 6,500 other riders for the 2008 Miller Lite Ride for the Arts in Milwaukee.  The ride is a fund raiser for the United Performing Arts Fund  that supports 35 professional performing arts groups. In April, employees donated $5,700 to UPAF, which the company matched dollar for dollar. This year ATC was nominated for the Robert W. Baird Outstanding Achievement Award in Employee Giving.

ATC was a gold level corporate sponsor of the Dane Country Breakfast on the Farm, held June 14 at the Kalscheuer’s Dairy Farm located north of Waunakee. It is a 250-acre, family-owned farm that milk’s 85 cows.

Trees for Tomorrow offers field-based programs that place students and teachers in direct contact with natural resources that support human needs
