The 2022 Ohio Farm Bureau Foundation Golf Invitational raised a record-breaking $100,000 for foundation scholarships, grants and programs that help enhance agricultural communities and support careers in agriculture.
“Raising a record breaking $100,000 will allow the Ohio Farm Bureau Foundation to continue our focus to inspire and educate the next generation of agricultural professionals through scholarships, innovative programming and grants. We had a great day connecting with new and loyal supporters while creating awareness around careers in agriculture,” said Tara Durbin, Ohio Farm Bureau Foundation Board president and chief lending officer, agriculture for Farm Credit Mid-America.
The event was held June 27 at The Country Club at Muirfield Village and hosted 186 golfers. The Ohio Farm Bureau Foundation offers a special thank you to the event sponsors, especially Nationwide, who served as the title sponsor for the event. This successful day would not have been possible without the generous support of sponsors and participants.
Participation in the Ohio Farm Bureau Foundation’s annual golf invitational supports the future of Ohio agriculture. The Ohio Farm Bureau Foundation believes that for agriculture to continue to grow and thrive, we must cultivate it. Through our work, we are building a steady flow of young people with the knowledge, training and skills to enhance the industry. It is up to us to keep Ohio agriculture healthy and vigorous; to foster its progress and prosperity in every Ohio county and community.
