Give Today: George F. Baumgardt Memorial Music Scholarship

The George F. Baumgardt Memorial Music Scholarship celebrates George F. Baumgardt ’74 as a leader in Racine’s faith and music communities, and as a proud UW-Parkside alumnus.

In partnership with the Spirit of Racine Music Makers, we invite support of this scholarship to benefit music students at UW-Parkside. Generous community donations established the scholarship in 2024 and continue to help it grow.

Thanks to the many donors who helped us meet the summer 2025 match! Your generosity secured an additional $2,500 from an anonymous donor. 

Your continued support of the George F. Baumgardt Memorial Music Scholarship creates a lasting legacy for George at UW-Parkside and will ensure the success of future generations of music students.

Spirit of Racine Music Makers is a nonprofit community musical group whose mission is to bring peace, love and social justice to the world through the power and beauty of music. We thank Spirit for their leadership in this effort!
