“Warhawks Rising: Powered by DLK Enterprises since 1957” continues a long-standing tradition of supporting students and the Whitewater community.

DLK Enterprises, Inc., a fixture in the Whitewater community since 1957, has announced a $250,000 donation to support the construction of Winther Hall, a key educational facility at the University of Wisconsin–Whitewater.

This project, titled “Warhawks Rising: Powered by DLK Enterprises since 1957,” marks the latest chapter in DLK Enterprises’ and the Kachel Family’s ongoing commitment to student success and campus growth. The Kachel family has contributed more than $8 million to UW-Whitewater initiatives over the years, including scholarships and campus improvements that directly benefit students and the wider community.

“We are grateful to the Kachel family and DLK Enterprises for their long-standing support of UW-Whitewater,” said UW-Whitewater Chancellor Corey A. King. “Student success is at heart of our mission and core values, and the Kachels’ generosity and service to the university enables us to continue our collective commitment in this space. This is another example of their investment in advancing the Wisconsin Idea — directly impacting our region as UW-Whitewater and reinforcing our role as the state’s leader in producing the most licensed teachers.”

“Providing opportunities for students is our favorite part of what we do,” said Michael Kachel, President of DLK Enterprises. “We are looking forward to our continuing partnership with the university and the finished project at Winther Hall.”

The donation reflects DLK Enterprises’ strong belief in collaboration and community spirit. The company is proud to work alongside campus partners in bringing this exciting new project to life.

DLK Enterprises remains dedicated to enhancing the student experience and supporting the people who make Whitewater a great place to live, learn, and grow.
