Proceeds from the auction will be used to fund grants for ideas to improve the quality of life and independence of people with disabilities in Colorado.
The Colorado Disability Funding Committee has raised more than $80,000 this year from the sales of license plate configurations and has awarded $40,000 in grants, according to a news release.
“Whether you are a Buff, a Ram, a Miner, a Tiger or a Pioneer, this fall you can celebrate homecoming and support Coloradans with disabilities,” said Lt. Gov. Dianne Primavera in the release.
