More than 50 golfers will gather to support the AASV Foundation next week at Fox Ridge Golf Club in Dike, Iowa for the 2010 Midwest Golf Outing. The Foundation is pleased to recognize golf-hole sponsors DeWaay Capital Management, Elanco Animal Health, Newport Laboratories, and Pfizer Animal Health for their additional support of the event.
Golfer check-in begins at 10:00 am on Wednesday, August 25. Refreshments will be provided along with an opportunity to hit a few practice balls on the driving range. The 4-person team, best-ball competition begins with a shotgun start at 11:00 am. Box lunches and beverages will be supplied on-course. Following the golfing, team and individual contest winners will be recognized during the awards dinner. Registration includes 18 holes of best-ball golf, cart rental, morning refreshments, lunch, and the awards dinner and prizes. The event is expected to conclude by 6:00 pm.
Proceeds from the golf outing provide support for the AASV Foundation as it seeks to "Ensure our future…create a legacy" for swine veterinarians. Income generated by the event enables the Foundation to fund programs such as the swine externship grants for veterinary students, travel stipends for students attending the AASV annual meeting, and funding for research with direct application to the profession.
