With locations in Fort Worth, Dallas, Houston, and Grand Prairie, Texas, D&M Auto Leasing is the largest consumer auto leasing company in the country; the company attributes much of its success to its high volume of repeat and referral customers. D&M Auto Leasing gives back to the community by contributing to more than 25 charitable organizations throughout the state of Texas. Among these organizations is the Fort Worth Stock Show Syndicate.
Founded in 1980, the Fort Worth Stock Show Syndicate raises funds to support the Fort Worth Stock Show’s Junior Sale of Champions. The Fort Worth Stock Show is an exhibition of steers, lambs, goats, and barrows raised by 4-H and FFA students ages 8 to 18 from across the state.
The animals win prizes in each category, and the prize-winning animals are auctioned to the highest bidder at the Junior Sale of Champions. The Fort Worth Stock Show Syndicate’s more than 100 members work throughout the year to solicit sponsors to make sure that each animal is sold at the best possible price. Since its founding, the Syndicate has raised more than $49 million in support of the Stock Show, all of which was awarded to the students who raised the winning animals.
In addition to helping the student exhibitors raise money to pursue their agricultural goals, the Syndicate awards 24 scholarships each year through its James M. Norman Scholarship Fund. The scholarships are granted through 4-H and the National FFA Organization and awarded to students who plan to attend a Texas institution and pursue a four-year agricultural or life sciences degree.
