The golf outing is the department’s primary fundraising event. All proceeds support the dairy science department’s undergraduate student scholarship program and high impact learning activities such as student travel, hands-on learning laboratories, and undergraduate research. The 2018 outing raised nearly $30,000 for those programs.

The Golf Classic uses a scramble format, where each team member plays the ball closest to the hole after each shot. The event is open to the public. A registration fee of $135 per golfer pays for 18 holes of golf, cart rental, free lunch and lots of prizes.

Individuals or companies can support the event through a sponsorship or donation. One option is to sponsor a hole for $300). Beverage, lunch, breakfast and brat cookout sponsorships for $1,000 are also available and come with special event signage.

There is a live auction, featuring a variety of dairy-related items and sports memorabilia. Donations of auction items are welcome.
