The Alpha Gamma Rho Fraternity organized the Dairy Dash, a 4K run as a philanthropy event for the Brain Injury Association of America in memory of John Klossner. John was a member who passed away as a result of brain trauma sustained from an accident at the Wisconsin State Fair in 2013.
John was a passionate member of the dairy industry and an accomplished cattle showman who had won many awards. He was very involved in FFA, 4-H, and Junior Holstein Association activities. John also enjoyed the outdoors, especially hunting with his dad. His family was also very important to him including his nieces, brother and sister.
