“The sponsors for Boots and Suits really came through this year,” she said. “Because of them, students will have opportunities to start or further their education that they may not have had without these wonderful people, organizations and businesses. It was wonderful to see people working together for such a great cause as raising money for student scholarships.”

This year’s Presenting Partner was Southwest Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, and the Gold sponsor was Pinnacle Bank.

Silver sponsors included Texas Tech University, Great Western Dining, Citizens State Bank, Citizens National Bank of Texas, Mike Terry Chrysler Jeep Ram, and the Mustang Foundation.
