The Dairy Alliance Provides Nutritional Support at GHSA Basketball Championships

The Dairy Alliance, a nonprofit funded by dairy farm families in the Southeast, is supporting student-athletes and fans at the GHSA Basketball State Championships in Macon, Georgia. Throughout the championship weekend from March 11 to 14, the organization will distribute nutrient-rich real dairy milk to athletes following each game and provide branded giveaways to attendees. This initiative is part of the Milk's Got Game® program, which focuses on athlete recovery through proper nutrition.

Real dairy milk offers a natural combination of high-quality protein, carbohydrates, and electrolytes that help athletes refuel, rebuild muscle, and rehydrate after intense competition. Joanne Engelhardt-Risko, Chief Marketing Officer at The Dairy Alliance, emphasized that high-level performance requires proper nutrition and recovery. She stated that real dairy milk provides athletes with complete, high-quality protein along with natural electrolytes and carbohydrates that support strength, endurance, and recovery. The organization is proud to support these student-athletes as they compete at the highest level and celebrate the Georgia dairy farm families who help fuel their success.

Mayfield Dairy will supply the milk for the championships, ensuring student-athletes have immediate access to real dairy milk after their games. In addition to fueling athletes, The Dairy Alliance will connect with fans and families throughout the championship weekend by distributing branded swag and sharing information about the nutritional benefits of real dairy milk. Jorge Cimadevilla, GHSA Partnerships General Manager, expressed pride in continuing the partnership with The Dairy Alliance in support of student-athletes across Georgia. He noted that their presence at the GHSA Basketball Championships demonstrates their ongoing commitment to promoting proper nutrition and supporting school communities.

Partnerships like this help advance the GHSA's mission of fostering healthy, competitive, and well-rounded athletic programs. Through partnerships like the GHSA Basketball State Championships, The Dairy Alliance continues its mission to support youth athletics and active communities across the Southeast. The organization connects dairy farm families with student-athletes, schools, and fans while highlighting how real dairy milk supports performance both on and off the court.
