For the 24th consecutive year, the Wabash Rotary Club hosted a benefit golf outing on September 16, 2015 to kick-off Wabash County United Fund's annual fundraising campaign. This year's proceeds generated a $9,000 award to the organization.  Accepting on behalf of the United Fund was Marilyn Custer-Mitchell, Rotary member and United Fund board member, and Steve Johnson, United Fund executive director. Johnson stated, "The strong support of the annual campaign kick-off from the Wabash Rotary Club and from the community resulted in another successful event." Rotary members Dave Dorais, Brad Farlow, Jance Peterson and Kelly Gretschmann worked closely with Johnson during the planning and execution of the event.  "This was a tremendous year for golf outing" shared Dave Dorais, Wabash Rotary committee chair for the outing. "The committee works hard, works well together, and has a great time organizing this event for a good cause in our community." Eighty golfers took to the tee boxes to enjoy the perfect weather conditions. The event took place at the Honeywell Golf Course with lunch provided by Miller's Merry Manor. This years hole-in-one sponsors were Dorais Chevrolet Buick GMC Dealer, Brandt's Harley-Davidson Dealership, and INGUARD Insurance. Wabash County United Fund 2015 board president Nate Fansher expressed gratitude to the Wabash Rotary club for the support of the annual campaign.

We appreciate all of the sponsors and players, companies and individuals, that pull together to make the event a success."
