“This year will be the largest scholarships that we have ever awarded thanks to JBS,” commented Bob Hinderaker, Greeley Stampede Foundation President. “We are grateful to have amazing partners like JBS and those that support the Foundation’s events to provide this opportunity for Weld County students.”
