HOUSTON, Nov. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Hunting PLC announced today that it will donate proceeds from the 2008 Hunting Art Prize to the Linda Lorelle Scholarship Fund, a Houston-based charity that provides scholarships, support and ongoing guidance to Houston-area high school students in need of financial assistance to fulfill their academic potential in college.
Dennis Proctor, Chief Executive of Hunting PLC, whose U.S. corporate headquarters are in Houston, said his company is honored to work with the Linda Lorelle Scholarship Fund.
"This is a wonderful chance to have a positive impact on the lives of deserving young people," Proctor explained. "It is a privilege to make a contribution to a program which focuses on work ethic to make a young person's goal of a higher education achievable."
Hunting moved the prize to Houston, after a quarter century in the United Kingdom, where it emerged as one of Great Britain's top arts awards. The winner of the competition, whose $50,000 prize is one of the most generous in North America, will be announced in May 3, 2008.
