In this section of LeaderCare, we will be updating you weekly on what is going on with our relocation to the Stockyards Historic District.
Did you know that you can endow a specific Youth World Show class forever by making a $45,000 gift to our Youth World Show Endowment? The base scholarship for every World Championship Class is $1,300, which distributes $500 in scholarship earnings for first place, $400 for second place, $250 for third place and $150 for a randomly drawn name in each class. So while your gift goes into the big endowment, the interest on the gift can be earmarked for the four scholarships for a specific class on a first-come, first serve basis. It’s a great way to memorialize a loved one, a favorite horse or ranch in perpetuity. Interested in endowments for more than one class? Just multiple each class by $45,000. Perfect for a 2017 tax writeoff. For more information, contact APHF Director Laura Jesberg or make a gift via our Capital Campaign Gift Form.
