LANSING, Mich. — Quality Dairy hosted its second annual pączki eating contest at the REO Town Clubhouse in Lansing, bringing together community members in a spirited competition that also supported local charities.
For the second year, LAFCU partnered with QD and matched the first-place winner’s prize donation, doubling the contribution to the winning contestant’s chosen charity.
The event, which featured a fun and energetic atmosphere, challenged participants to eat as many pączki as possible within three minutes while raising funds for charitable organizations.
“At LAFCU, we’re always looking for ways to support the community, and this event is a perfect example of how a fun tradition can have a meaningful impact,” said Kellie Swiger, creative director at LAFCU. “By matching the prize for the winner, we’re helping a local nonprofit continue its work in the community. It’s inspiring to see participants competing not just for a win, but for causes that makes a difference.”
