The winners of the auction will not only get to display their love of the Wild West, but also support a good cause. All the proceeds from the auction will fund grants for innovative ideas to improve the quality of life and independence of people with disabilities and contribute to the National Western Stock Show Scholarship Trust.
When and where is the auction?
The auction will take place at the National Western Beef Palace Auction Arena at 3 p.m. on Saturday, January 20, 2024. You can bid live online or in person for the license plates. The auction will be part of the National Western Stock Show, which is an annual event that celebrates the Western lifestyle and agriculture. The stock show features rodeos, livestock shows, horse shows, trade shows, and more.
Why should you participate?
The auction is a unique opportunity to get a personalized license plate that reflects your personality and passion. You will also be helping the Colorado Disability Funding Committee, which is a state entity that oversees the allocation of funds generated from the sale of specialized license plates. The committee awards grants to organizations that serve Coloradans with disabilities and promote their inclusion and empowerment.
The auction is also a way to support the National Western Stock Show Scholarship Trust, which provides scholarships to students who pursue careers in agriculture, rural medicine, and veterinary science. The trust has awarded more than $13 million in scholarships since its inception in 1983.
