WAA sponsors homecoming trivia contest

To get UW–Madison students and alumni fired up for Homecoming, the Wisconsin Alumni Association is sponsoring an online football trivia contest on its Web site Sept. 22-Oct. 11.

The grand prize is a football autographed by former UW running back Michael Bennett. Starting Sunday, Sept. 22, WAA will post a daily, multiple-choice trivia question on the Web site.

Each week, two lucky players who answered the questions correctly will win great prizes like tickets to WAA’s pre-game Homecoming Badger Huddle, Bucky flags, Homecoming apparel and a sweatshirt from the University Book Store. At the end of the contest, WAA will randomly pick a grand-prize winner. Questions and rules are posted at the Web site.

“Homecoming is always such an exciting time on campus and it brings back so many memories for our alumni,” says Paula Bonner, WAA’s president and CEO. “This contest is a fun way to get everyone in the spirit for the big game.”

The Wisconsin Alumni Association has been serving UW–Madison and its graduates since 1861. WAA provides an array of services, including On Wisconsin, a quarterly alumni magazine; an international travel program; a robust Web site; and an extensive alumni lifelong learning program, including the annual Founders’ Day program and Grandparents University.
