In addition to promoting the consumption of milk, the campaign also seeks to help prevent underage drinking and drinking and driving. The event was spearheaded by Paul Matia, junior class adviser at Central Dauphin High School, and Brian Ross, program manager for PDPP. “Fuzzy Navels” and “Purple Cows” were two beverages made in quantity for" the prom. Central Dauphin also received other components of the Cheers Party Pack supplied by PDPP. The pack featured free napkins, a ban ner highlighting the “Cheers” program, table tent cards, and many other recipes using dairy products.
