The Funds That Support Magic And Possibilities
During Day of the Badger, we ask you to join us in support of the people behind the magic of the Wisconsin Union and in keeping our more than 110-year legacy of magical experiences going.
Your Gift Matters
We are a little different from most of the efforts you will be called to support during Day of the Badger in that we do not receive taxpayer dollars as part of our regular budget for our community events or student leadership efforts. That’s right. Your support through purchases at our buildings, Memorial Union and Union South, and your gifts make what we do possible.
During this Day of the Badger, here are the ways you can make a difference:
- Make your tax-deductible gift. Find out more about giving opportunities we’re highlighting below.
- Share how you feel connected to the Wisconsin Union, and encourage others to make a gift to the Union on your social media accounts or through email.
- Share this story on your social media accounts.
