Fire-Up 2008 raises funds for rural youth scholarships

More than 350 CALS alumni and friends gathered at the UW Field House on Sept. 6 to support student scholarships and WALSAA activities. More than $4,500 was raised to support the new Wisconsin Rural Youth Scholarship Initiative. Adding that to what’s been collected to other ongoing efforts, over $30,000 has been raised for the recently launched new scholarship initiative. In addition, WALSAA raised more than $8,000 in the silent auction and raffle. This figure will be matched by the UW-Foundation.

Any gift made to the Wisconsin Rural Youth Scholarship Fund will be matched by the CALS Dean's office, dollar for dollar while challenge funds last. No matter the size of your gift, the impact is doubled when you support the Wisconsin Rural Youth Scholarship Fund.

Please contact Ben Miller at bmiller@cals.wisc.edu for more information about how you can help Wisconsin's rural youth.
