10 Oct 18 Concert Benefits Texas Music License Plate Grant Fund
Since it began in 2004, the Texas Music Office’s License Plate Grant Program has contributed more than $132,000 to music education opportunities across the state via sales of its Texas Music license plate for cars and motorcycles. The TMO aims to expand its outreach concerning how license plate sales contribute to the grant fund with events like the one Anheuser-Busch hosted at Floore’s Country Store in Helotes, TX; Anheuser-Busch covered all costs for the concert allowing Texas musicians Josh Abbott and Rob Baird to perform free-of-charge to the public.
