Get Involved
In addition to making a gift, there are tons of free ways to get in on the flamingo fun.
Visit the flock on the hill.
October 25 | 10 a.m.–2 p.m.
Free to attend
Bascom Hill
Madison
Come see us in person on Bascom Hill on Friday, Oct. 25! Join us from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for an “open hill” student event featuring games, prizes, and more, including a special Bucky appearance from noon- 1 p.m.!. Feel free to come and go as your schedule allows.
Plus, if you show us a Fill the Hill gift confirmation email on your phone anytime before 4 p.m., you’ll get to stick a lawn flamingo in the hill yourself!
Fish for fountain flamingos.
October 25 | 8 a.m.
Free to attend
Library Mall
Madison
At 8 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 25, we’ll dump a flock of flamingo rubber duckies into the fountain at Library Mall. We’ll provide a net and any that you rescue are yours to keep!
Join the fluffy flamingo scavenger hunt.
On Friday, Oct. 25, twenty stuffed flamingos will be hidden around campus. If you find one, you get to keep it! But better still, direct message us on Instagram (@WisAlumni) and your flamingo’s sponsor will make a gift of a surprise amount to any fund you want. Happy hunting!
Share a smile. Spread the word.
Not on campus? Not a problem! Help us turn the internet into a sea of flamingos on October 24–25 with #UWFlamingos! Snap a flamingo* selfie from anywhere in the world and tell everybody about how giving during Fill the Hill helps support UW–Madison’s most urgent needs. Your advocacy is just one more way you can make a big difference.
*If it’s a real flamingo, you’d better be a zoologist or photographing from a safe distance. NO HARASSING LIVE FLAMINGOS!
