Fill the Hill

Together, We’re Unflappable!

It’s everyone’s favorite day of giving and goofiness! Starting at 5 p.m. CDT on “Flocktober” 24, Badgers and friends around the world will fill Bascom Hill with pink lawn flamingos. For 24 hours, every gift made in support of UW–Madison will add to our fabulous flock honoring one of the UW’s most beloved student pranks. Whether you join the feathery fun in person or online, you’ll help ensure that UW–Madison remains a world leader of education, research, and innovation for generations to come.
