Milk Chug Challenge, Defeated!
That’s right. In September, Cargill joined forces with Tara Vander Dussen, also known as New Mexico Milkmaid on social media, to give back to those in need. To participate, individuals needed to post a picture or video on their Instagram feed chugging milk and using #milkchugchallenge in the caption. Cargill and others committed to matching Vander Dussen’s donation of $1, up to $500, to www.giveagallon.com for every qualifying post. Thanks to all of the highly entertaining participants, this goal was exceeded, and milk has been donated. Cheers!
