Our retired faculty have given us a $500 challenge for this hour. Did a faculty member go above and beyond for you? A donation this hour would be a great way to honor them, let us know if you are honoring someone with your donation!
Noon-1pm
This is a big one! Dean Emeritus Dale Gallenberg is back with a challenge to match his donation of $2000 over the noon hour. Historically this is a strong time for donations - we can do this!!

Donate during this hour and you'll be entered into a drawing for a unique gift from CAFES! One or two of our advanced Animal Science - companion animal students, under the guidance of Shelly Volsche, PhD, CPDT-KA, will provide a free 1 hour training session for you and a furry family member. They will provide advice and tips on basic training (sit, stay, come) or teach doggie zen mat training. Note: this is not a consultation for dogs with reactive behaviors or separation anxiety as those issues require longer term assessment and guidance.
3-4pm
We have another $500 match challenge from the CAFES retired faculty!

The CAFES Alumni Board is issuing a $625 challenge this hour. Current board members are: Gary Beastrom (‘66), Derek Husmoen (‘08), Erin Kamm (‘04), David Nonemacher (‘22), Chad Petersen (‘86), Kristin Pronschinske (’04; MS ’05), Marcus Qualle (‘20), Sara Schaefer (’07; MS ’09) and Cary Sifferath (‘98). How about former Board Members taking them up on this challenge?

At this time of day food comes to mind! We'll draw from all the donors this hour and send the winner a half dozen packages of meat sticks made in our very own meat plant. Perfect for taking on a fall hike or a hunting trip.
