WAA: Austin Chapter

Basketball Game Viewings

Following a strong showing during the football season, the Austin Badgers' focus has shifted to Men's Basketball. We'll be gathering for a select group of games (those that seem to be schedule-friendly and those that are later in the day so folks can get out of work in time to get there). We'll more than likely be at The Tavern (12th / Lamar), but the venue may change if there is a conflict / other game.

Come out and join us and represent the Austin Badgers! For the most up to date location, please click below.

26th Annual Austin Badgers Brat Fest 2009

The 26th Annual University of Wisconsin-Madison Alumni Club of Austin Brat Fest was held Thursday, October 8, 2009 and was a great success. With over 100 UW Alumni friends and family in attendance, the event featured a feast of brat and pot luck dishes, a silent auction, and a raffle of UW gear. Brat Fest 2009 raised over $1000 for the Club's Scholarship Fund.

Austin Marathon Relay
Sunday, September 27, 2009

This year our Club fielded a team for the Silicon Labs Marathon Relay on Sunday, September 27, 2009. The 26 miles (42km) is broken up into five legs of varying distances, split amongst a team of five runners. "Team Austin Badgers" posted a time of 3:50-- not bad considering the heat!

The intent of fielding the team was to raise money for our Club's scholarship fund, and in the event's first year, the team raised over $600-- which will then be matched by the WAA for a total of over $1,200!
