Rick Buser
The definition of service can mean many things as shown through the acts, contributions, and generosity of Hall of Fame Inductee, Rick Buser. Rick was a 1979 graduate of Cedarburg High School. While attending CHS, he was a three-sport varsity athlete that participated on the football, basketball, and tennis teams. Upon graduation, Rick went on to continue his education at MSOE.
Rick is someone who really embraces the entrepreneurial spirit by owning, operating, and selling numerous successful bars and pubs in the community and surrounding areas. One of Rick’s signature bars, that many in our community have frequented, is Maxwell’s located right down the street from where he graduated.
A long-time philanthropist, Rick has made charitable donations to several organizations for the betterment of all students. His generosity has been directed not just to his alma mater, but to other local organizations as well, including various elementary schools. Additionally, Rick’s leadership was key to the completion of the turf project that benefits our community, students, and athletes. Rick has also been a long-time supporter of the annual Bulldog Classic golf outing which is the main athletics fundraiser each year at CHS. Rick does this outstanding work with little to no fanfare which is a testament to his character.
Along with being a great community member, Rick has also been a prominent sponsor and supporter of many high school feeder programs including the Cedarburg Mercs, Ozaukee Hockey Teams, Cedarburg Select Baseball, Cedarburg Basketball Club, Cedarburg Dawgs, and the Cedarburg Crush. Rick is best known for his trademark words of “tell me what you need.”
With respect to all of Rick’s donations and charitable work, he never lost sight of his main goal which was to support our youth and to give back to younger generations. Over the years, Rick has facilitated or participated in raising approximately $10,000 to $25,000 a year for over 35 years. In addition, Rick has helped coordinate the volunteer efforts of hundreds of people, dedicating in excess of 10,000 hours to help students in our community.
