Minnesota Farm Bureau Foundation Holds Golf Fundraiser
Minnesota Ag Connection - 06/24/2021

The Minnesota Farm Bureau (MFB) Foundation held its annual Golf Scramble on June 22 at River Oaks Golf Course near Cottage Grove. Over 110 golfers were among 28 teams to compete in the event, and all proceeds raised go directly to the MFB Foundation. Funds will be used for programs focused on agricultural education, safety education and leadership development.

"We are incredibly appreciative of everyone who makes this event for the Minnesota Farm Bureau Foundation such a success. The dollars raised help support that numerous programs funded by the Foundation and events like this allow us to continue the great work that we do," said Ruth Meirick, MFB Foundation director.

The Golf Scramble is one of three major fundraising events for the foundation. The other MFB Foundation fundraisers include Minnesota Farmfest pork chop stand, and the annual foundation fundraiser to be held at the MFB Annual Meeting on Friday, November 19.

The Minnesota Farm Bureau Foundation's mission is to provide opportunities for supporters of agriculture to invest in people and programs that promote agriculture. Examples of some of the programs currently funded include leadership training for farmer leaders, public outreach and education, educational resources for farmers and county Farm Bureaus and more.
