Student leaders are the backbone of the Wisconsin Hoofers Clubs, guiding thousands of participants through incredible outdoor adventures. Thanks to the Dale & Raelyn Cole Hoofer Student Leader Training Fund, our student trip leaders receive the high-quality, up-to-date training they need to ensure every adventure is safe, enriching, and expertly managed. 

Your donation to the fund directly impacts these leaders by providing critical training and certifications in outdoor exploration, safety preparedness, emergency response, and more. This includes Wilderness First Aid and Wilderness First Response for student leaders from the Outing, Sailing, and Mountaineering Clubs. Sailing instructors also gain advanced knowledge through American Sailing Association courses, enhancing the skills they share with their clubs. 

Join us in continuing Dale and Raelyn Cole’s legacy of transformative outdoor leadership by donating to the Hoofer Student Leader Training Fund today! Thank you for supporting life-changing outdoor experiences for students, and helping cultivate leadership skills they’ll use beyond their time on campus.  

Gifts made in support of Wisconsin Hoofers student leaders will be contributed to the Dale & Raelyn Cole Hoofer Student Leader Training Fund at the University of Wisconsin Foundation.
