This year’s Ohio AgriBusiness Association Educational Trust held its late Golf for Scholarships scramble on Aug. 19. Over 160 golfers came together at the Shelby Oaks Golf Club in Sidney to support the OABA Educational Trust scholarship fund.
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the event, the group recognized past honorees as well as honored this year’s honoree Daryl Gates. Click here to read about Daryl’s continuous dedication to Ohio agribusiness.
Thank you to those who came out to golf, our generous sponsors, and to our committee members (see below) for all of the continued support and dedication. Click here to see pictures from the outing and if you haven’t already, be sure to “like” the OABA Facebook page.
