Packers Hall of Famer Mark Tauscher, TDS Telecom kick off Tausch’s Cooking Camp to Tackle Hunger
GREEN BAY, Wisconsin – Green Bay Packers Hall of Famer and former Wisconsin Badgers offensive lineman Mark Tauscher is tackling hunger in the community through a first of its kind cooking camp for kids called Tausch’s Cooking Camp to Tackle Hunger. Thanks to funding from TDS Telecommunications LLC (TDS®) and a partnership with FoodWIse, Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin and the Boys and Girls Club, dozens of kids will learn nutrition and cooking skills at Boys and Girls Clubs in Green Bay, Menasha and Appleton.
“We’re excited to launch Tausch’s Kids Cooking Camp and create an engaging learning environment to nourish both minds and bodies. We’re grateful to join community partners in promoting healthy eating habits and cooking confidence that Boys and Girls Club members can carry throughout their lives,” said Mark and Sarah Tauscher.
The mission of Tausch’s Cooking Camp to Tackle Hunger is to empower young minds with the knowledge they need to make healthy choices and the confidence to be chefs in the kitchen. Through a combination of education, hands-on activities, and interactive workshops, the program aims to equip kids with the skills to prepare simple, nutritious meals.
“Helping our communities is a central part of TDS’ mission. We’re proud to partner with the Tauschers and the Boys and Girls Club to present this exciting new program for youth throughout northeastern Wisconsin,” said Dawn Nowakowski, TDS regional manager of field marketing.
Also, during the kickoff event, Brown County Executive Troy Streckenbach delivered a proclamation designating March National Nutrition Month.
“I applaud Mark and Sarah and the community partners of this new program. It’s important that we all do our part in promoting the benefits of making healthy food choices,” said County Executive Streckenbach.
Tausch’s Cooking Camp to Tackle Hunger is being offered at Boys and Girls Clubs in Green Bay, Appleton, and Menasha for the next eight weeks.
