College Colors Day Funds for Food Drive

Fundraising: August 18 - 28, 2025

College Colors Day at Sumter Landing: August 29, 2025

The On Wisconsin Club is participating in this year's College Colors Day, put on by the The Villages Daily Sun. The event is a fundraiser for local food pantries. We are proud to be teaming up with the other Wisconsin clubs of The Villages. 

College alumni and fans will compete against each other to raise the most money between August 18 and August 28.  On August 29, the community will gather at Sumter Landing Market Square to find out which group rose to the top. This event is a fundraiser rather than a food drive, so the competition is based on HOW MUCH MONEY EACH SCHOOL CAN RAISE.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE

1. Donate to the cause.  CLICK HERE TO DONATE ONLINE (the donation period is August 18-28).

The link to the donation website is listed above. Once there, you will choose which school you are supporting (choose Wisconsin!!). Or you can go to the Daily Sun website and follow the link on their homepage. 

2. Volunteer to help decorate.

We will be setting up a tent on August 29 to decorate and gather together for activities and fun. We would love to have your help. Nobody helps out better than folks from Wisconsin.

3. Come to the event and show your spirit.

On August 29, the community will gather at Sumter Landing Market Square to celebrate this fantastic event. Come show your support!  The day's schedule is as follows:

3:00 pm - Wisconsin Tent will be available

5:00 pm - Live entertainment begins, featuring Scooter the DJ

6:00 pm - The school fight songs will be played over the square's sound system

7:00 pm - The annual group photo will be taken 

The bar huts will be open and food trucks will be parked on the square. Prizes will be awarded to the best dressed group and the best school spirit. 

Even though our club has alumni from many Wisconsin-based universities, UW-Madison is the fundraising, decoration, and school-spirit clothing for this event. Join us in supporting Wisconsin, no matter your particular alma mater. UW-Madison's colors are Red and White.
