CHICAGO, Nov. 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- There's no place like home for the holidays. This year, Borden® Cheese is awarding $100,000 to be used for travel fare to help families across the country spend time together to celebrate their holiday traditions and create new cherished memories.

Borden® Cheese believes in the value of bringing family members around the table, and understands that the high cost of travel during the holiday season can often make it difficult for this to happen. That is why Borden® Cheese is announcing a national contest, Borden Home for the Holidays, offering each contest winner a $500 VISA cash gift card to help pay for airfare, train tickets, rental cars or other travel expenses to help them make it home this year.

"Families are more spread out than ever, and the costs associated with getting home can be prohibitive," said Flavia Panza, Senior Director of Marketing, Dairy Farmers of America. "What better way to spread love and joy than by ensuring people are able to be with their families and enjoy special holiday moments meant to be shared together."

Consumers are encouraged to enter by visiting BordenHomefortheHolidays.com and sharing why it is important to them to get home this holiday season. The contest runs from Sunday, November 19, 2017 through Friday, December 8, 2017; winners will be notified on December 11, 2017. No purchase necessary to enter or win.

Whether you're getting home to gather around the table and enjoy Mom's cheesy potato casserole or to toast Grandma's famous cheese ball, Borden® Cheese has a variety of offerings perfect for favorite holiday dishes, including the all new Thick Cut Shreds, which have been carefully crafted for a smoother melting consistency.
