The Farmers Bank Foundation is bringing former NFL quarterback, professional baseball player, and sports commentator Tim Tebow to Texarkana as a part of its annual Distinguished Speaker Series. The April 10th event featuring Tebow is the fifth Distinguished Speaker Series event hosted in Texarkana by the Farmers Bank Foundation. The annual event is organized to help raise funds for scholarships for graduates of the University of Arkansas Hope-Texarkana and Texarkana College who wish to transition to Texas A&M University-Texarkana so they can complete their bachelor’s degree.
Tim Tebow is a two-time national champion, Heisman Trophy winner, first-round NFL draft pick, and a former professional baseball player. The five-time New York Times best-selling author, speaker, and football analyst is most passionate about his work with the Tim Tebow Foundation (TTF), whose mission is to bring faith, hope, and love to those needing a brighter day in their darkest hour of need. The Tim Tebow Foundation is currently fighting for people who can’t fight for themselves in over 70 countries and counting.
“Farmers Bank & Trust is excited for our fifth Annual Distinguished Speaker Series to bring Tim Tebow to the Texarkana community for an inspirational night that you will never forget,” said James Bramlett, Farmers Bank & Trust Texarkana Market President. “We encourage everyone to attend this event not only to see a wonderful speaker but to also support education in the region.”
“We are thankful to Farmers Bank & Trust and the Farmers Bank Foundation for their continued support of A&M-Texarkana and higher education,” said A&M-Texarkana President Dr. Ross Alexander. “The annual Distinguished Speaker Series event raises money for talented local students opting to continue their education at A&M-Texarkana after graduating from Texarkana College and the University of Arkansas Hope-Texarkana.”
Dr. Jason Smith, Texarkana College President, said, “Financial obstacles prevent many Texarkana College students from pursuing a bachelor’s degree. Our students greatly benefit from the support of Texas A&M University-Texarkana and the partnership with Farmers Bank & Trust to provide transfer scholarships to help them with the costs of achieving their higher education goals. We are so grateful to have such great partners in education in our community.”
“The University of Arkansas Hope-Texarkana extends heartfelt gratitude to Farmers Bank & Trust and the Farmers Bank Foundation for their unwavering support in empowering our students,” said UAHT Chancellor Dr. Christine Holt. “Their generous scholarships break down the greatest barrier to higher education – cost- paving the way for students to achieve their academic dreams. This investment in education not only transforms individual lives but strengthens our communities, making them better places to live, work, and thrive.”
