#CheeseTheFirst is your chance to organize the cheese-related party of your dreams to support girls' education and rights. Think wine & cheese happy hours, mac & cheese lunches, and pizza parties.
Make it a BYOC (bring your own cheese) party and you can host on Zoom, too!
The options are brie-ly endless...
grilled cheese fundraiser | charcuterie at a picnic | pretzels & beer cheese at a sports game
pizza party for your birthday | Cinco de Mayo quesadillas | wine & (vegan) cheese night
Let's make it cheddar than ever.
We've got all the ideas you'd ever need for a successful #CheeseTheFirst.
When you raise your glass for a toast, you can raise awareness too—here's a script!
Host a Say Cheese photobooth with props & get your selfie on. (Don't forget to tag @shesthefirst!)
#CheeseTheFirst's grate origins
As always, students inspire our most brilliant ideas. The STF Campus Chapter at UMN first invented #CheeseTheFirst in late 2014. They knew that students had late-night cravings for the gooey goodness of grilled cheese sandwiches and cheese quesadillas. After UMN, STF Temple quickly jumped in, & chapters have raised thousands of dollars this way ever since!
After you’ve dined, send in your dollars!
