Recovery in college can be challenging and isolating without a strong community. Academic pressures, social expectations, and everyday stress create high-risk situations for students in or seeking recovery from substance use, eating disorders, and addictive behaviors. Community, connection, and consistent professional support are essential to help students not only maintain recovery but thrive personally and academically.
Your gift to the Badger Recovery Fund supports Badger Recovery, UW–Madison’s collegiate recovery program, which provides life-saving support for students. With your help, students can find community, rediscover hope, maintain sobriety, and continue progressing in their recovery through weekly meetings, coaching, and substance-free social events. This Giving Tuesday, your gift toward our $,000 goal will help fund a full semester of recovery events—pizza and game nights, community dinners, workshops, and outings—that give students the structure, encouragement, and connection they need to recover and find hope again.
Every gift matters:
- $25 provides food packs, stress-relief kits, and recovery library materials
- $100 funds social events that reduce isolation and help build friendships
- $500 hosts multiple recovery events or off-campus excursions
- $1,000 expands outreach, supports peer facilitators, and enhances specialized programming
By giving to the Badger Recovery Fund, you’re doing more than supporting individual students in their recovery; you’re helping cultivate a campus culture of wellness, inclusion, and support. Your generosity ensures that students in recovery can rediscover hope, build community, and achieve academic and personal success.
