Agribusiness Industry Golfs to Support Ohio's Agricultural Students

Agribusiness Industry Golfs to Support Ohio's Agricultural Students

Register for August outing by July 27 for early registration discount

OABA members came out in full force to support Ohio's agricultural students at the June 10 Golf for Scholarships event. Over 70 golfers from across the agricultural community enjoyed a beautiful day in the sunshine at the Deer Ridge Golf Club in Bellville.

The Educational Trust fund supports scholarships for Ohio agricultural students at The Ohio State University and Ohio State ATI, University of Findlay, Clark State Community College and Wilmington College. More than $55,000 is awarded in scholarships each year due to events like the Golf for Scholarships scramble.

Thank you to those who came out to golf, to our raffleand eventsponsors, plus our lunch sponsors, contest sponsors, hole sponsors, cart sponsor and to our committee members for all your continued hard work.

We hope you'll make plans now to join us on August 12 at Shelby Oaks Golf Club, Sidney, Ohio. Bring a team - whether that's your coworkers or your customers - and get ready for a great day of golf! Additional details and registration are available at oaba.net/golf. Early bird deadline ends July 27.
