Elks Lodge Raises Money For Diabetes Fund At Kosciusko County Community FoundationThe Warsaw Elks Lodge recently presented the Kosciusko County Community Foundation with a check for $1,775 from the proceeds of what would have been their 14th Annual Jimmy Baker Memorial Diabetes Fund golf scramble that was set to be held at Rozella Ford Golf Club in July.
This year, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Lodge reached out with a fundraising letter to hole sponsors, players and lodge members to help raise money in anticipation of the 15th annual golf outing next summer.
The gift will support the Jimmy Baker Memorial Diabetes Fund, a component fund of the Foundation. The fund was established by the Elks in memory of longtime member Jimmy Baker and helps individuals in need of assistance with their diabetes treatment.
Proceeds from the letter will also provide a $500 scholarship administered by the Elks. More information can be found online at www.elks.org.
