Donation from Texas Trophy Hunters Association License Plates Help Fund Texas Parks and Wildlife

Feb. 29, 2012 - PRLog -- San Antonio – Texas Trophy Hunters Association™ (TTHA) is proud to announce financial support for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation by donating funds from the sale of TTHA’s license plates.

TTHA has issued a check in the amount of $1,416.75 to help support the Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation and public hunting opportunities in Texas.  
   
“Our association is proud to offer TTHA specialty plates to our members and hunters across Texas,” said TTHA President Joe Betar. “TTHA will be donating 100 percent of license plate sales to worthy causes, with half of these funds going to assist with public hunting opportunities supported by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation. The remaining 50 percent of the funds will be used to support youth and outdoor education, including youth hunts, military hunts and other worthy causes. The more of these TTHA plates people buy, the more we can fulfill our mission to support and protect our hunting heritage.”

The new TTHA plates, created by Texas-based MyPlates, are official Texas specialty license plates approved by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles. Plate prices range from $55 to $195 a year, but the per-year price goes down if you purchase a 5- or 10-year plate.  

“We appreciate the support of the Texas Trophy Hunters Association for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation," said Texas Parks and Wildlife Department executive director Carter Smith. "These funds will be used to help us provide a high quality experience for those who participate in our public hunting programs."

Since 1991, the foundation has served as the official non-profit funding partner for TPWD. Its mission is to provide private support for TPWD in carrying out its mission of managing and conserving the natural and cultural resources of Texas while providing hunting, fishing and outdoor recreation opportunities for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.  By bringing together companies, corporations, communities and individuals, the foundation has successfully raised more than $70 million for a wide variety of projects.
