What is Badgers Give Back?

I have a couple friends who are student athletes at the University of Wisconsin. Recently I heard them talking about a program called Badgers Give Back. I wasn't exactly sure it was so I decided to do some research on it. I thought I would share the cool information I found with you guys incase you also didn't know what this cool program was!

In September 2012, Wisconsin Athletics unveiled "Badgers Give Back," a new community relations platform meant to increase publicity of student-athlete outreach efforts.

The first year of the program was an concrete success, producing a 263% increase in UW student-athlete appearances, 79% increase in hours volunteered and a 198% increase in requests for an appearance by a UW student-athlete. UW student-athletes volunteered an impressive 4,185 hours to improving the community, appearing at 145 events during the 2012-13 academic year.

Badgers Give Back By the Numbers:

8,124 hours volunteered 280 community appearances 193% increase in UW student-athlete appearances 194% increase in number of hours volunteered by student-athletes 178% increase in requests for appearances by UW student-athletes 273% increase in publicity of outreach efforts

Book yourself a Badger for your next community event!
