Wisconsin Alumni Association Milwaukee Chapter

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.
