The 2025 Dairy Cares of Wisconsin campaign puts the focus squarely on where it is needed most: Helping support children and families facing life-altering medical conditions. This year marks the milestone 15th anniversary of the nonprofit organization that supports Children’s Wisconsin.

Last year, Dairy Cares brought its lifetime fundraising to more than $3.2 million, all of which directly benefits children and families facing medical emergencies and related long-term health issues. Those funds have been applied across a broad array of medical needs, including:
◼ In 2022, Children’s Wisconsin-Fox Valley introduced the Dairy Cares Physical Therapy/Occupational Therapy module, which will help youngsters regain critical skills as part of their treatment plans.
◼ In 2018, Children’s Wisconsin-Milwaukee launched the state-of-the-art Dairy Cares Simulation Lab, which gives medical professionals a safe venue to learn and sharpen their skills. “The work of Children’s Wisconsin provides unrivaled medical care, specialized treatments, new technologies and hope to thousands who need it every year,” said Jim Ostrom, Dairy Cares co-founder and a member of the Children’s Wisconsin Foundation Board. “Dairy Cares brings together hundreds of sponsors, donors and volunteers each year to support that mission. It’s a cause everyone can get behind.”
