What is the Badger Foundation?

The Badger Foundation is the alumni organization started in 1982 as a small group that raised funds for a Tucson High Jazz Band trip to Europe. By 1984, that nucleus became a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization. The Foundation continues to support education and strives to keep Tucson High students in school. The main sources of funding are membership dues, bequests, donations and endowments.

The Foundation provides financial assistance to Tucson High students, faculty, and staff, which enables students and student groups to participate in special activities when student activity funding is insufficient. It also assists in preserving the proud traditions and history of Tucson High.

Members receive periodic newsletters. The October Annual Meeting features the induction of new members into the Badger Foundation Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame recognizes alumni, faculty, and friends of Tucson High for excellence in educational, professional, and community achievement. Also honored at the Annual Meeting are six of the previous school year’s outstanding students.

The Foundation sponsors two recognition events. The Generations Luncheon recognizes families whose student is a second or third generation Tucson High graduate. The Top 25 Luncheon recognizes those seniors who are academically in the top 25 of their class.
