MADISON, Wis. — The tenth “Fill the Hill” fundraiser at the University of Wisconsin-Madison brought in more than $421,000 for various campus initiatives.
This year’s campaign collected 2,789 gifts totaling $421,057, the Wisconsin Foundation and Alumni Association said Friday night.
The total was down slightly from the $436,000 raised in 2021, but the number of gifts was more than 550 higher than last year.
Hundreds of plastic pink flamingoes filled Bascom Hill as part of the fundraiser, paying homage to a student prank in the late 1970s.
