“As someone in ranch sales, I see every day how important the outdoors is to our way of life,” said Mark Rose of the TT Ranch Group. “Peggy and I love that OTF gives us the chance to invest in schools right here in our own backyard, giving local kids the opportunity to experience the same value the outdoors has brought to us and our family.”
