The LITDA Scholarship Program recognizes the sons and daughters of LITDA members who have achieved academic excellence and who have proven community leadership abilities. In 2015, LITDA awarded $2,000 scholarships to four recipients, and the organization hopes to match those contributions in 2016. The 2016 Scholarship deadline is Feb. 18, 2016.
Registration for the LITDA Fall Event is $125 per player and is open to independent tire dealers, vendors and the general public. Sponsorship opportunities are available and include a variety of benefits.
