Clark’s catches help fund essay contest

Indiana High School seniors have the opportunity to win cash prizes to help fund their college education.  The Indiana Corn Marketing Council and the Indiana Soybean Alliance, in conjunction with the Indianapolis Colts have created the Hoosier Horsepower Essay Contest.   Indianapolis Colts tight end Dallas Clark says he realizes college education is important, but it isn’t cheap.  For that reason, the Indianapolis Colts will donate $100 on behalf of Indiana corn and soybean farmers to the program for every catch Clark makes this season. 

Four Indiana high school seniors will be selected to receive $2,000 to defer college education related expenses.  Jane Ade Stevens, executive director for ICMC and ISA says this essay contest allows Indiana high school seniors to think about the important role Indiana farmers play in their everyday lives.   

Essays must be postmarked no later than Friday, February 17, 2012.  Winners will be announced prior to the end of the 2011-12 academic year.  More information is available at www.colts.com/hoosierhorsepower.
