The Dairy Cares executive committee has raised $60,000 for Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin at their 2nd annual Dairy Cares Garden Party held July 28th, 2012. This event more than doubled last year’s contributions due to devoted sponsors and attendees.

Three years ago a group of dairy industry individuals decided they would like to offer the Wisconsin dairy industry an opportunity to raise funds to help others. As a result the Dairy Cares of Wisconsin organization was formed. The goal is to raise funds for other non-profit organizations to further enable them to assist people and their families with such things as medical difficulties and related personal and family needs. The Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin has been the beneficiary of the funds raised in the first two years of the event.
