The Amarillo-area beef community presented a check for $106,000 to the Snack Pak 4 Kids (SP4K) Beef Fund. The money will provide beef protein to hungry students through the Snack Pak weekend hunger program. The check was presented at the fourth annual Beef 4 Kids Classic golf tournament in late August.
