Veenker Memorial Golf Course in Ames, Iowa, is set to host the 2019 AASV Foundation fundraising golf outing on Thursday, August 22. The foundation is pleased to recognize the generous sponsorship support provided for the event by Boehringer Ingelheim (awards dinner sponsor), APC (lunch sponsor), and Zoetis (beverage sponsor).
Additional financial support is being provided by ten golf hole sponsors. As a result, golfers will enjoy a variety of contests, prizes, and giveaways hosted across the course by Ceva Animal Health, Furst-McNess Company, GVL, Huvepharma, Insight Wealth Group, National Pork Producers Council, Pharmgate Animal Health, Phibro Animal Health Corporation, PrairiE Systems, and Topigs Norsvin USA.
AASV members and industry supporters are invited to register a team (or individuals) and enjoy a day of fun and golf in support of the AASV Foundation! Registrations are due August 5.
The registration fee includes 18 holes of best-ball golf, cart, lunch, beverages, awards dinner, and prizes. Funds raised by the event support AASV Foundation programs, including research grants, travel stipends for students attending the AASV annual meeting, swine externship grants, scholarships for veterinarians pursuing board certification in the American College of Animal Welfare, tuition grants at the Swine Medicine Education Center, and more.
Golfer check-in begins at 11:00 AM on the 22nd. A shotgun start at noon kicks off the four-person team, best-ball competition. Golfers compete as a foursome against the challenges of the course (and the other teams) in addition to participating in individual games and contests along the way.
