“Nothing brings us more joy than watching our children thrive—academically, socially, and spiritually—as they find their footing, build character and grow into confident young adults. We support the University of Wisconsin–Madison because it offers an exceptional academic experience in an environment that truly challenges and inspires students to become their best selves. Just as important, there is a clear culture of continuous improvement. No one is resting on their laurels—UW academic leaders continue to raise the bar, pushing themselves, their teams and the students to strive for excellence. We are thrilled for our son and delighted to support the University of Wisconsin–Madison.”

“Our son absolutely loves UW-Madison so when the university’s annual spring day of giving, Day of the Badger, came along we knew we wanted to contribute to this amazing institution. The school has so many fantastic disciplines and programs, it was hard to choose where to direct our gift! We ultimately chose to donate to the UW Carbone Cancer Center, which does critical work to reduce the burdens of cancer. This disease affects every family we know so it’s very important to us that Carbone continues to get the funding it needs.”
— The Strickland-Weiss Family
“We value being part of the Parent Philanthropy Circle. The tailored events, regular communications, and direct engagement with university leadership, including the chancellor, have given us a clear understanding of how we are making a difference in the lives of students, helping them to go out in the world and do better and bigger things. Most importantly, we’ve enjoyed meeting other families and sharing our Badger spirit!”
