Recreation and Wellbeing

Challenge
Met

Thanks to Eric Weingartner & Jennifer Schultz, The Overbrook Foundation, & Laura Gersh, once the Recreation and Wellbeing Fund receives 25 gifts during Day of the Badger, $3,000 will be unlocked!

This challenge has ended.

Every Badger deserves access to holistic health, regardless of financial circumstances. Yet many opt out of fitness classes, intramurals, and wellness programs because additional fees are not in their budgets. Through the Recreation and Wellbeing Fund, the No Fees Project removes those costs and ensures that students with financial need can access Rec Well programs and facilities at no charge. Your gift helps Badgers stay active, support mental health, build confidence, and form healthy habits that extend beyond UW–Madison.

Every gift creates measurable impact for students:

  • $25 provides nutrition education to two students, helping them fuel active lives and academic success
  • $50 unlocks one year of unlimited intramural sports for a student, building teamwork, resilience, and joy
  • $100 gives a student unlimited group fitness classes that support mental health and lifelong wellness
  • $500 covers the cost for swimming or ice-skating lessons to build safety, confidence, and community
  • $1,000 supports healthier futures for 40 students through hands-on nutrition education and self-care resources

Your support allows students to engage in recreation and well-being without financial barriers. Every dollar keeps Badgers moving, connected, and confident, because no student should be priced out of living well.

Thank you for making a meaningful impact.

Recreation and Wellbeing is a unit of Student Affairs at UW–Madison.

Gifts will be contributed to the Recreation & Wellbeing Fund – 112990465 at the University of Wisconsin Foundation.
