At the Dairy Excellence Foundation, we work to empower the next generation of dairy and keep the industry vibrant and growing. From school-age children who are exploring agriculture and dairy farming for the first time – and learning where exactly their milk comes from – to the high school and college students who are searching for a career in the dairy industry that connects to their passions, your support makes a difference. And it can make an even greater impact next week on November 20 through the Extra Give campaign.
By supporting the Foundation, you are helping us move the needle and make direct impacts on consumer education and dairy workforce development:
- A record of over 2 million students will be impacted through the Adopt a Cow program this year.
- The elementary and middle school students enrolled in Adopt A Cow increased their dairy knowledge by 76% last school year through the program.
- 24% of Adopt a Cow teachers said they observed their students eating more dairy.
- 64% of Adopt a Cow teachers said students were talking about dairy more often.
- 38,143 students were impacted through Dairy Leaders of Tomorrow learning subject areas like dairy technologies, dairy herd management and more.
To support our moo-vement and make a year-end contribution, consider making your donation this year on Friday, November 20 through the ExtraGive campaign. This is a local, Lancaster County initiative that allows your gift to make a bigger impact through a stretch pool of more than half a million dollars that will be distributed across the participating organizations, based on the Foundation’s number of unique donors. Whether you make a $10 donation or a $100 donation, your gift to the Foundation will go further on November 20.
