Holiday Cheese Box Sales

Holiday Cheese Box Sales

The cheese box fundraiser throughout the holiday season is the Dairy Club's largest fundraiser. Over 8,000 pounds of cheese is produced by dairy and food science students in the dairy plant and cut, packaged and sold by dairy club members throughout the fall semester. Cheese boxes are sold online through the bookstore or through the Dairy Club’s Facebook. If you forgot to order you can stop by the SDSU Dairy Bar Dec. 11-16, 2024 and order one for pickup. The club’s cheese boxes can be shipped to any of the continental states.

A few of the highlights from the past year that we accomplished thanks to cheese box purchases include:

• Awarded eight $500 scholarships to dairy science and non-dairy science members who are actively involved in the Dairy club.
• Publish the Dairy Club’s yearbook, The Dairy Digest. The Digest is sent to the department’s alumni, parents, friends and throughout the dairy industry.
• Attending dairy related events including the Central Plains Dairy Expo, World Dairy Expo and Ag Day in Sioux Falls.
• The Dairy club hosted the seventeenth annual dairy camp where youth from surrounding states spent three days at SDSU learning about fitting, showmanship and all things dairy.
