2017 United Adworkers All-Star Game Benefiting UPAF

On Thursday, September 7th United Adworkers hosted it’s 3rd Annual All-Star Softball game at Miller Park’s Helfaer Field. The game included live performances from the Milwaukee Children’s Choir Kendra Kebara and In Tandem Theatre’s Chris Flieller. Thanks to our event sponsors, All-Star players, game attendees and fans, we were able to raise $1,000 to benefit the United Performing Arts Fund (UPAF)!

Here are some highlights from the game captured by Andrew Feller Photography and MKE Drones. Visit our United Adworkers Facebook page for a full photo album.
