July 7, 2010 — AASV Staff

The AASV Foundation is returning to Fox Ridge Golf Club in Dike, Iowa for its 2010 Midwest Golf Outing, scheduled for Wednesday, August 25. The Foundation is pleased to recognize golf-hole sponsors DeWaay Capital Management, Elanco Animal Health, Newport Laboratories, and Pfizer Animal Health. AASV members and industry supporters are invited to register a team (or individual) to golf in support of the AASV Foundation!

Golfer check-in begins at 10:00 am the day of the event. 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, and attendees will have the opportunity to hear from guest speaker Dr. John Thomson, the dean of the Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine. 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.
