Fill the Hill is back — but the flamingos can’t land without you! Starting at 5 p.m. today and ending at 5 p.m. October 2nd, every gift the UW receives will add to our “fla-mazing” pink flamingo flock on Bascom Hill and our chapter's scholarship fund. Help ensure that UW–Madison remains a world leader in education, research, and innovation for generations to come.

Last year the Milwaukee Chapter, with our area alumni and friends, provided $15,000 to 5 local area high school seniors to attend UW Madison this fall. By clicking on the link below and donating you can help make this possible again next year.

FILL THE HILL: Choose the cause you want to support, then watch the flock, and the strength of our UW–Madison community, grow!

Fill the Hill is a cherished UW–Madison tradition that brings pink lawn flamingos flocking to Bascom Hill each fall as part of a spirited fundraising event. Every gift made during the campaign adds a flamingo to the hill and will go into our Milwaukee Chapter Scholarship account.

On October 1 and 2 we will be accepting scholarship donations through the Fill the Hill tradition.. Last year the Milwaukee Chapter provided $15,000 to 5 local area high school seniors to attend UW Madison this fall.

Please watch for information next week to see how to particapate.
