AFR Golf Tournament Raises Funds for Special Needs Livestock Show

A record number of supporters, including more than 100 golfers participated in the third annual AFR golf tournament, June 21, at the FireLake Golf Course in Shawnee, Okla. All proceeds from the tournament will support the Gold Star Classic-AFR special needs livestock show.

“We are excited to raise funds to give special needs students an opportunity to have a life-enriching experience,” said Terry Detrick, President of the Farmers Union Foundation, the major supporter of the event. “Our golf events have always been focused on helping improve lives of others and we believe this event meets that goal.”

These students will have the opportunity to exhibit and interact with sheep, goats and pigs.  Sponsors of this year’s golf tournament will also be recognized as a sponsor of the Gold Star Classic-AFR special needs livestock show.
