Boston Big Bones Bash!
Cabot Creamery Cooperative is a founding sponsor of the Calcium Crisis Challenge
designed to arrest the critical calcium deficiency among teens – by having
teens tell teens the important calcium messages. Big Bones Bash sponsors include
3-A-DAY, New England Dairy & Food Council, Dannon yogurt, Hood milk, Shaw’s
Supermarkets and WBZ radio. The Calcium Crisis Challenge was created by Cabot
as part of its ongoing effort to raise awareness of this national health crisis
while engaging those most at risk – our nation’s children – in
the awareness process. Cabot has been in continuous operation in Vermont since
1919 and makes a full line of cheeses, yogurt, sour cream, cottage cheese and
butter. Cabot is owned by the dairy farm families of Agri-Mark, the Northeast’s
premier dairy cooperative. For additional information on Cabot Creamery, please
