    Very sad news for our forum and the Wisconsin Badger community. Becky Blank passed away peacefully on February 17 after a seven month battle with an aggressive form of cancer. She was a visionary and a leader that exemplified IWF values and will always be remembered for the significant impact she made for Badgers and the state of Wisconsin. Thank you, Becky, for your lasting legacy.
