Badger Boys State Alumni Association

	[clock] Thank you for your interest in the Badger Boys State Alumni Association. Founded in 2004, the Association builds upon the leadership tradition embodied by the thousands of citizen and counselor alumni. The goal of the Association is to be a leader in supporting Badger Boys State, Inc. through philanthropic gifts providing additional benefits to citizens. These gifts may be as simple as arranging in-kind donations from individuals, corporations or other foundations, to providing sponsorships for citizens to attend Badger Boys State. If you are an alumnus, I encourage you to think back to your Badger Boys State experience. If you are like me, you will remember the tremendous friendships and contacts you made as well as the overwhelming pride for this great country. You may also remember the tremendous counselors and Legionnaires who spend over a week volunteering to make your Badger Boys State experience a positive lasting memory. During the 70th Badger Boys State session held June 11-18, 2011, Alumni Association donors helped raise enough money to sponsor 12 citizens. That may not seem like a lot out the 860 citizens who attended the 70th session, but that is 12 more people who were able to hear Charles Wiley speak, 12 more students were able sing the Boys State song, and 12 more students who were able to hear Wisconsin Governor Walker and his son Badger Boys State Governor Walker, but most of all, it allowed 12 more students experience Badger Boys State. These students offered thank you letters to the donors and the Alumni Association. I encourage you to assist Badger Boys State and create additional positive experiences for thousands of future leaders. The easiest way is to become a donor of the Badger Boys State Alumni Association. Your donation is tax-deductible and is guaranteed to make Badger Boys State an even better experience. If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, please send me a note through the Association’s feedback form. Sincerely, Nathan D. Grunewald (BBS ’94) President, Badger Boys State Alumni Association
