In 2006, Minnesota Milk awarded the first ever "Friend of Dairy" award to Bruce Cottington. Since then, the name of the award has been changed to the "Bruce Cottington Award" in honor of Bruce Cottington's name and legacy.
This award is given out on select years to individuals that have gone above and beyond the call of duty fostering the goals and ideals of Minnesota Milk through their own personal efforts. Additional criteria for the award also includes their involvement in Minnesota's dairy industry, display of leadership, and community involvement.
