A tradition of giving
UW students have banded together to raise funds for the university since at least 1917. Their efforts helped build Camp Randall Stadium, Memorial Union, the Elvehjem Art Center (now the Chazen Museum of Art), and many other iconic features of campus.
Make the UW stronger for future generations. It’s what Badgers do!
