(KMZA)--The annual Baileyville Benefit Tournament has been recognized for the good it does by Ag Partners Cooperative and Cenex, the energy brand of CHS.

As part of the recognition, the Baileyville Benefit Board received a $5,000 grant that will go toward the benefit's fundraiser for families in need of medical assistance.

For the past 30 years, the Baileyville Benefit Tournament has grown from a small-scale fundraiser to a treasured annual tradition that has generated more than one million dollars in total donations for Nemaha County residents.

This year, the Baileyville Benefit will be held Saturday, February 29 and Sunday, March 1 at Nemaha Central High School.

The donation was made possible through a grant initiative that encourages Cenex dealers, retailers and distributors to share stories about what makes their local communities unique.  In total, more than $100,000 will be given back to Cenex communities this year.
