This year’s Partners in Giving campaign, themed Caring for 50 Years, is well underway! Last year, CALS raised a total of $43,526. Right now, at the midpoint, we have collectively raised $15,404. Thank you to all who have already chosen to donate. To those who haven’t but wish to do so, it’s not too late! You have until Nov. 30 to commit to your donation if you want to use payroll deductions. Contributions can still be made through mid-May 2023.

You can donate online at giving.wi.gov/. Anyone who participates in this year’s campaign is eligible to purchase discounted tickets to Badger wrestling, men’s hockey and women’s basketball games.  Additionally, there will be a drawing on Friday, Dec. 2, 2022 at 12:00 p.m. where two lucky winners will win either one set of four men’s hockey tickets or one set of four women’s hockey tickets.

Be sure to donate online or turn in your pledge form soon for a chance to win those tickets! Pledge forms can be found with your department volunteer. While winning game tickets is exciting, please remember that your donation, however large or small, is making an impact on others in your community. We can make a bigger impact together.  

Additionally, remember to attend the Partners in Giving Lunch and Learns every Tuesday. They offer great insight into how some of the charities make an impact. Upcoming topics include veterans, children and family services, environment and animal welfare. If you can’t attend, they are recorded and available for viewing here.

Questions about the Partners in Giving campaign can be directed to your department volunteer or the CALS’ Partners in Giving chair, Tara Darga (tara.darga@wisc.edu).
