The Dairy Days Dash, a fundraising 5K run/walk event hosted by the Luxemburg Area Chamber of Commerce and supported by 33 local sponsors, was held on June 7th.  Around 200 runners ran a 3.1 mile course through the village of Luxemburg, enjoying fresh ice cream cones after the finish.

 

This year’s fundraising efforts went to support Kewaunee County Suicide Prevention, a collaborative county-wide effort to educate people in a technique called QPR: Question, Persuade, Refer.  This training helps identify people who are struggling and get them the help they need.  Overall, the Dairy Days Dash raised $7,000 for these efforts, which was presented to Sheriff Matt Joski at this year’s Kewaunee County Fair Kickoff Dinner.

 

Next year’s event is scheduled for June 6th, 2026.  Follow the Dairy Days Dash on social media for details in the coming months. https://www.facebook.com/DairyDaysDash
