NMPF’s online scholarship fundraising raffle is live now until it announces winners Oct. 21. Prizes this year include American Express gift cards, Target gift cards, a Cabot Creamery Gift Box and more. Participants can access the raffle here.
More prizes will be available through the live and silent auctions at annual meeting. The live auction will start at 1 p.m. ET on Oct. 20 during the annual meeting luncheon. An accompanying silent auction will be available for bidding at the scholarship booth and during the cheese reception.

The NMPF National Dairy Leadership Scholarship Program supports master’s and doctoral students conducting research important to dairy farmers. The scholarship program is largely funded through the raffle fundraiser, making ticket purchases essential to its funding. Sustaining this program means ensuring that critical research benefiting the entire dairy community can continue.
