KOSCIUSKO — The Warsaw Elks Lodge recently presented the Kosciusko County Community Foundation with a check for $2,500 from the proceeds of their 12th Annual Jimmy Baker Memorial Diabetes Fund golf scramble, which was held at Rozella Ford Golf Course on July 8. Eighty-three golfers enjoyed the scramble followed by a steak dinner held at the Elks Lodge.

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 golf scramble also provided two scholarships, which were awarded by the Elks. For more information about the Elks, visit their website at www.elks.org.
