"Your profession is not what brings home your weekly paycheck, your profession is what you're put here on earth to do, with such passion and such intensity that it becomes spiritual in calling"

A grant will be given to a graduating senior of Ellsworth High School that can most effectively convey their vision and passion for their career path of choice. Submit a 5 min or less video that explains and/or demonstrates what your career goals are and how you will accomplish them. Explain what you will use this grant money for in your plan and the reasons why you have a passion for this career.
Examples of what you can use the money for:
Robbie was a smart, hardworking, and innovative man. He had a passion for agriculture, aviation and the outdoors. He was an underdog of sorts. Despite being told he wasn’t college material, he graduated from UWRF, became an engineer and commercial pilot, flight instructor and so much more. He overcame incredible odds and pushed through difficult challenges because he knew what drove him and why. Neither Robbie nor I would have the accomplishments in our life if it wasn't for people that believed in us and gave us a chance. I’d like to be that for one of you.
Examples of what you can use the money for:
- Want to be a farrier, mechanic or carpenter- Buying tools

Amherst LBW Rodeo Sponsor
Proud supporter of the Little Britches of Wisconsin Rodeo in Amherst, WI

Just a couple weeks before Robbie died in August 2015 we came to visit friends and watch their kids ride at the Amherst LBW rodeo. He kept looking around and repeatedly saying, “this is so good for these kids.”
So, it was on our hearts to sponsor the rodeo.
He always wanted to win a buckle but never did. But now, he can help make another cowboy or cowgirl realize that dream.
