DENVER - The Colorado Disability Funding Committee is thrilled to partner with the Western Stock Show Association and Colorado Auctioneers Foundation to auction the rights to use 13 unique Colorado license plate configurations.
Proceeds from the auction will fund grants for new and innovative ideas that improve the quality of life and independence of people with disabilities, and contribute to the National Western Stock Show Scholarship Trust.

“We are excited to bring unique Colorado license plate configurations to the Stock Show this year to give more people an opportunity to wrangle a plate they love while supporting grant opportunities for organizations that serve Coloradans with disabilities.”
