Cake Auction At Rodeo Grounds February 12

LABELLE, FL.-- New support to raise money for the Pro Steadman 4-H Scholarship “Men’s” Cake Auction on Wednesday, February 12, 2020, at 6 pm at the LaBelle Rodeo Grounds. There will be a silent cake auction along with a live cake auction. 

 This scholarship currently awards two $1000 scholarships to two high school senior students and a $1000 scholarship to one college student. The first annual “Men’s” Cake Auction was held in 1990, approximately $30,000 in scholarship monies has been awarded.

The Pro Steadman Scholarship Fund started in 1990 as a community project in honor of Mrs. Pro Steadman. "Pro" was the mother of five 4-H'ers, a leader for ten years, and was very active in all sectors of the 4-H program. 

 She believed in the 4-H organization and seeing it reach its full potential for bringing families together and keeping members interested in worthwhile projects. Mrs. Steadman was diagnosed with ALS (commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease) in May of 1988. 

 Throughout her struggle with the disease, she maintained her interest and involvement in youth programs as much as she physically could. She died in December of 1992, but still lives on in the hearts of the many that she influenced.
