News Release 

WARSAW — The 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, which was set to be held at Rozella Ford Golf Course in July.

This year, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, they reached out with a fundraising letter to hole sponsors, players and lodge members to help raise money, in anticipation of an incredible 15th annual golf outing next summer. 

The gift will support the Jimmy Baker Memorial Diabetes Fund, a component fund of the Kosciusko County Community 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. For more information about the Elks, visit their website at www.elks.org
