Welcome to Ben’s Memorial Community!
Benjamin Balgord was a truly remarkable friend, father, husband, and colleague. His energy for life and constant drive to become a better human has touched hundreds of lives and should be memorialized for his friends and family in the years to come.
Please help us to preserve Ben’s legacy in 2 ways. First, share your favorite memories, photographs, or letters to Ben within our community blog and photo gallery. Let this become a space for remembrance and healing for his family and for all of us who miss daily.
Also, “Ben’s Scholarship” fund will provide an annual award to a deserving student from Madison West High School to support their annual tuition costs at a University of Wisconsin System college. The recipient will be a student-athelete who reflects the values central to Ben’s life- academics, athletics, and volunteerism.
Please read on to make a blog post and a donation to honor Ben and continue his life’s unending goal; to be a better human and make this world a better place for everyone. For any questions or concerns please email: [email protected]
