Golfers, it is time to recruit and register your golf team to support the AASV Foundation!
Join your colleagues at the annual AASV Foundation Golf Outing on Wednesday, August 23 at Veenker Memorial Golf Course in Ames, Iowa. Veenker has a history of providing lovely weather, great food, and a well-groomed course for golfers to enjoy at this event. Register today and plan to spend a fun day in support of the foundation.
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/$500 per team) includes 18 holes of best-ball golf, cart, lunch, beverages, awards dinner, and prizes. Preregistration is required by August 9 to reserve your spot.
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, student debt relief scholarships, AASV heritage videos, and more. Thanks to strong sponsorship support and golfer participation, last year’s outing raised nearly $13,000 for the foundation!
