The Panhandle Livestock Association raised more than $2,500 in the silent auction at its 2014 PLA Winter Meeting to assist young agriculture students with their education.
Scholarship recipients from Clarendon College included Kuley Duke of Durham, Okla., Caleb Urbanczyk of Amarillo; and Zakary Maddux of Cheyenne, Okla. Scholarships also went to West Texas A&M students Pecos Martin, Shelby Calderon, and Laura Burandt.
“We’d like to thank the Panhandle Livestock Association for all of their support and continued contributions to the students of the Clarendon College Ranch and Feedlot Operations Program,” CC RFO Instructor Laban Tubbs said.
The Panhandle Livestock Association began raising money in the 1980s to establish a scholarship fund at Clarendon College. Their goal was to raise $20,000 to set up an endowed fund. This was accomplished in 1992. Since then, PLA has set up three additional endowments. Currently there are two funds at Clarendon College and two at West Texas A&M totaling more than $100,000.
