Agribusiness Industry Golfs to Support Ohio's Agricultural Students
Register for August outing by July 22 for early registration discount
OABA members came out in full force to support Ohio's agricultural students at the June 15 Golf for Scholarships event. Seventy-two golfers from across the agricultural community enjoyed a beautiful, though hot, 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, Central State University, Clark State Community College and Wilmington College. More than $45,000 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 raffle and event sponsors, plus our lunch sponsors, contest sponsors, hole sponsors, and to our committee members for all your continued hard work.
