Dairyland was proud to sponsor the Wisconsin Interscholastic Alpine Racing Association (WIARA) 2022 High School Ski & Snowboard Championships, which were held Feb. 19-21 at the local ski hill, Mt. La Crosse. The three-day event is the largest high school ski and snowboard meet in the U.S. (Wisconsin has the third most ski hills in the country.) Mt. La Crosse is served by Vernon Electric, a Dairyland member cooperative. 

As part of Dairyland’s mission to improve the quality of life for cooperative members, Dairyland’s Contributions Committee manages an annual budget of charitable funds to be donated throughout the year. The committee meets monthly to review requests in the communities where we do business and to make decisions on whether requests meet Dairyland’s guidelines. 

Contributions support community events, specific projects for charitable organizations or general donations focused in our service territory or areas in which Dairyland employees live. Organizations are mainly non-profits and donations are targeted towards organizations and services that focus on community service, education, environmental stewardship or emergency and community crisis funds.
