Autobahn Motorcar Group Youth Scholarship Tour to Increase Shows and Scholarships
Benefiting the Texas Longhorn Breeders of Tomorrow
Fort Worth, TX – The Autobahn Motorcar Group Youth Scholarship Tour is making plans to provide an additional $30,000 in scholarships by adding the upcoming Prairie Longhorn Expo in Lincoln, NE, on April 21, 2007, making the yearly scholarship donation $180,000. The added $30,000 in scholarship money will be awarded to the participants in the youth show.
This new event is made possible by the generosity of Autobahn Motorcar Group owners John and Diann Chase, Fort Worth, TX. Through their stewardship, the Autobahn Motorcar Group Youth Scholarship Tour has given members of the Texas Longhorn Breeders of Tomorrow (TLBT) youth an opportunity to show and breed the best Texas Longhorns in the world, while earning money for a college education.
The Chase’s felt inspired to expand the scope of the Autobahn Motorcar Group Youth Scholarship Tour, because it’s a positive impact on the future of TLBT beyond Texas, without creating undue hardships on time and resources. TLBT members from across America are invited to participate in all Autobahn Motorcar Group Youth Scholarship Tour shows.
The 2006 National Youth Show Judge Marshall Ruble, Ames, IA, will judge the 2007 Prairie Longhorn Expo. For more information about the show please contact Carl Otto – (763) 675-6886; Vicki Smeal – (402) 568-2353; Steve Greer – (515) 987-5710.
