50 for 50
50 Leaders to Celebrate 50 years of Title IX
On June 23, 1972, Title IX was signed into law, introducing equity and increased opportunities to women athletes. To celebrate its historic passing, Wisconsin Athletics is searching for philanthropic leaders in our Badger community to support our 350+ women student-athletes. Our goal is to raise 50 major gifts to honor 50 years.
Wisconsin women have devoted over a century of determination and hard work to build a legacy that UW is proud to represent. It is our mission to continue to provide resources and more opportunities for women student-athletes to compete at the highest level. Help us uphold our progressive tradition of showing the world what our Badger women can achieve.
