Cheesy Cow Co.’s February macaroni and cheese preorders to support Woodstock Wolverines

Emily Stewart, Echo Correspondent

The Woodstock Wolverines Football Club will receive a boost in funding thanks to Cheesy Cow Company’s macaroni and cheese February fundraisers.

Cheesy Cow Co. will host two macaroni and cheese pre-orders with a portion of proceeds from the sales supporting the Woodstock Wolverines Football Club. Those looking for a tasty Superbowl Sunday meal can purchase a bundle featuring Cheesy Cow’s family-sized mac and cheese, which serves between 10 and 12 people, two pounds of chicken wings from the Butcher Barn, and a jar of Norfolk BBQ sauce for $55. The family-sized mac and cheese trays are also available for pre-orders for Family Day weekend.

The cheese shop and deli will donate $5 of each pre-order sale to the Wolverines.

Wes Mazur, head cheesemonger, became acquainted with the Wolverines after one of his kids joined the football club and met executive officer Joe Brown at Cowapalooza. He discussed with Brown about how the Cheesy Cow Co. can support the team and first launched the Family Day Mac and Cheese fundraiser. After getting some requests from customers to offer the dish for the Super Bowl, the Super Bowl bundle was also created.

“It's an amazing two-way street. Joe's promotion and the parents of kids of the Woodstock Wolverines have been helping promote these things, and it's gaining traction, so it's just absolutely a win-win,” Mazur said.

The fundraiser for the Woodstock Wolverines comes at a tough financial time for local organizations and small businesses alike.

"Everybody needs money and we know and have heard there are so many local organizations, whether they're sports teams or otherwise, that are struggling to get the regular sponsorships that they've had in the past, right?” explained Mazur. “Everybody's had to batten down the hatches because of the economy."

Most of the ingredients in Cheesy Cow’s mac and cheese, along with the chicken wings and barbeque sauce, come from local producers in Oxford County.

“Aside from the noodles, everything is made in Oxford County. We're very proud of that and it stays right in our community in terms of not just supporting our business and our staff but the sports club that's going to benefit from it too.”
