The Wisconsin 4-H Foundation recently recognized partner Cedar Crest Ice Cream as a top 4-H donor. Acknowledged as a Platinum Clover supporter, Cedar Crest Ice Cream contributed $10,000 to support Wisconsin 4-H programs. Cedar Crest Ice Cream has been an ardent supporter of Wisconsin 4-H for over 30 years.
“We are proud to give back by supporting and empowering youth development, through our partnership with the Wisconsin 4-H Foundation,” says President Ken Kohlwey. “The Wisconsin 4-H Foundation has a significant impact on youth personal growth and leadership. We are honored to take part in cultivating the next generation.”
Since 1914, Wisconsin 4-H has helped young people develop the skills required for a changing world. Growing out of a rich history of agricultural clubs, today’s 4-H has expanded to include STEM, healthy living, and communications.
“Cedar Crest helps 4-H create cutting-edge, relevant programs for young people to learn real-world skills that will prepare them for the challenges of today and tomorrow,” says Wisconsin 4-H Foundation Executive Director Brenda Scheider.
Nearly 150,000 youth participate in the Wisconsin 4-H program each year, and more than 22,000 volunteers support the program.
