Every gift UW receives will add a flamingo to Bascom Hill AND if you show a Fill the Hill gift confirmation email any time before 4pm, you can stick a flamingo in the lawn yourself! You could even forward your gift receipt to a student so they can place the flamingo if you won't be on campus. If you donate $100 or more, you'll receive a mini flamingo and $350 or more will qualify you for a full-sized flamingo!

Your gift to Gender & Women's Studies allows us to offer quality instruction, professional development, research support, and internship opportunities to our undergraduate and graduate students.
