Golfers, it is time to recruit and register your golf team to support the AASV Foundation! Registration is now open at aasv.org/foundation/golf.
Preregister by August 27 to join your colleagues in support of the AASV Foundation at Veenker Memorial Golf Course on Tuesday, September 10. We hope to repeat the experience of golfers at last year’s September event, who enjoyed picture-perfect weather as they made their way around the scenic course in Ames, Iowa.
Everyone is welcome! AASV members, industry stakeholders, clients, staff, family, and friends are all invited to register a 4-person team for this 18-hole, best-ball tournament. Individual golfers and pairs are also welcome and will be assigned to a team. The registration fee ($125 per golfer or $500 per team) includes 18 holes of best-ball golf, cart, lunch, beverages, awards dinner, and prizes.
Golfer check-in and warm-up on the driving range begins at 11:00 am, followed by a shotgun start at noon. Golfers compete as a foursome in addition to participating in individual games and contests hosted by sponsors at various holes across the course.
Lunch, sponsored by Merck Animal Health, is provided to golfers before they tee off and beverage tickets supplied by Zoetis will help golfers stay hydrated throughout the afternoon. At the conclusion of the afternoon, scores will be tallied, ties will be broken, and the team and individual contest winners will be announced by event coordinator Dr Josh Ellingson during the pork dinner sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health.
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 and the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners, student debt relief scholarships, AASV heritage videos, and more.
