The Allamakee County Farm Bureau met with the Kee High girls’ basketball team and the local community on March 23 at the Kee High gymnasium to celebrate the team’s successful season. The event brought together players, coaches, families, and supporters to recognize the hard work, dedication, and accomplishments of the team throughout the year.

The Iowa Farm Bureau became the exclusive title sponsor of the Iowa High School Athletic Association (IHSAA) in 2002. On behalf of all Iowa Farm Bureau members across the state, Allamakee County Farm Bureau Board Member Rick Weymiller presented the entire Kee High basketball team and coaching staff with commemorative signature basketballs.

“Our students and athletes are among the nation’s best and brightest, and our farmers are among the nation’s most productive — our partnership with the IHSAA honors both,” said Weymiller. “We took great pride in helping our young people excel, while also renewing pride in the community.”

In addition to providing championship memorabilia and awards to student-athletes, the Iowa Farm Bureau funded scholarships and grants to outstanding young citizens engaged in academic leadership and student government. The organization also sponsored the annual Governor’s Scholar Recognition Program, which recognized more than 400 of Iowa’s top students at a ceremony held in April in Des Moines.
