Launched by the Auburn University’s College of Human Sciences Hunger Solutions Institute (HSI) and select retailers, it provides a dollar-for-dollar match for participants in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.

The Dairy Alliance exhibit in Hall C4 will have team members on-hand to share educational information about the benefits of dairy milk, which has fueled athletes for centuries and delivers a strong combination of natural nutrients to aid muscle repair, rehydration, and replenishment.

Anyone thinking butter is just another dairy product should look no further than South Korean boy band BTS, which just two years ago released a song simply titled “Butter,” which includes the lyrics, “Smooth like butter, pull you in like no other.” 

Zany Ziplines will launch via a live-streamed tournament on Twitch and TikTok from the gaming zone at VidCon Anaheim on June 22 at the Anaheim Convention Center.

Prior to joining Dairy Foods one year ago, I served as editor-in-chief of a music instrument magazine. The industry had been steadily strumming along, pun intended, for years, until a June 22, 2017 Washington Post article, titled: “Why my guitar gently weeps. The slow, secret death of the six-string electric. And why you should care.”

During a June 1 event at the Raley’s location on Freeport Blvd in Sacramento, Calif., the CMAB and representatives from Raley’s and the Yolo Food Bank outlined the matching funds initiative that will provide up to 13,000 gallons – more than 200,000 servings – of fluid milk to 12 food bank sites.

Recipes featured in the “Snack Happy This Summer” campaign range from global flavors to frozen treats, all elevated with Real California dairy.

The tradition of the Indy 500 winner drinking milk dates to 1936 when a cameraman captured Louis Meyer sipping from a bottle of buttermilk, according to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
