STEWARDSHIP & ENGAGEMENT Exclusive Travel—Men's Basketball in Hall of Fame Classic More than 40 donors traveled to Kansas City with the men's basketball team for the Hall of Fame Classic. In addition to games, donors attended the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame Induction Celebration as former UW Head Coach Bo Ryan was inducted. Donors were also treated to a breakfast with Coach Ryan the following day. Badger Desert Classic The Tom Wiesner Badger Desert Classic took place in Las Vegas in April. Activities included a Sunday night banquet, with live and silent auction, along with two days of golf. Football Locker Naming Campaign Since the addition of the Stephen M. Bennett Student-Athlete Performance Center in 2014, which included a new football locker room, former UW football student-athletes had an opportunity to make gifts to name individual lockers. With the completion of the project this past fall, donors were invited back to tour the locker room and see their names displayed. Kohl Center 20th Anniversary UW Athletics celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Kohl Center in January with the help of Sen. Herb Kohl, the lead benefactor in the project, in attendance. The Kohl Center has truly been a transformational facility for the University, the city of Madison, and the state of Wisconsin.
