OtterBox Awards Local Students With Entrepreneurial Scholarships

FORT COLLINS, CO, Aug 05 (MARKET WIRE) --
A new wave of freshmen will soon begin classes at Colorado State
University. Poudre High School graduates, Levi Stockton and Sam Arnolfo,
will launch their college careers with a helpful boost thanks to their
$1,000 Entrepreneurial Scholarships from Otter Products, LLC, a local
Fort Collins Company. Demonstrating the entrepreneurial spirit, Stockton
wants to own a landscaping company and Arnolfo dreams of opening a guitar
shop.

"The scholarship program we started last year is extremely important to
OtterBox and this year we were fortunate enough to award two
scholarships," said Curt Richardson, CEO of Otter Products, LLC. "Not
only does it allow us to give back to the community, but it also
encourages innovation and an entrepreneurial spirit, characteristics that
are vital to a company's success."

"With over 100 applications this year, choosing the winners was
difficult," said Nancy Richardson, who oversaw the selection. "These two
young men really stood out. Their entrepreneurial drive was evident in
their applications and I expect them both to be very successful."

Stockton and Arnolfo's applications impressed the OtterBox scholarship
committee with their inspiring goals and dedication for future success.
Arnolfo, whose family owns the Silver Grill Cafe in Old Town Fort Collins,
wants to combine his entrepreneurial knowledge with his love of music by
opening a guitar shop with a stage for concerts and performances.

"Working in my family's restaurant growing up made me realize that I
really want to own my own business," said Arnolfo. "I have already
learned quite a bit about how running a business works from my dad, but I
hope to learn more at CSU."

Stockton often traveled with his dad to various landscaping jobs and plans
to start an independent landscaping company. Fueling his interest for this
industry, Stockton works at a local nursery and looks forward to his
education at CSU to help him reach his dreams.

Presented with their scholarships during a reception at Poudre High School
in May, Stockton and Arnolfo were congratulated by members of the OtterBox
team, including Curt and Nancy Richardson. Both winners were excited to
receive the scholarship and believe it will give them a great start in
college. At CSU, Stockton plans to study environmental engineering and
Arnolfo will major in business.

"I am happy to receive this scholarship because it will help me keep going
with my education," said Stockton. "My parents are helping with some of
the costs of college but I am paying for some of it too; the scholarship
will really help."

This is the second year the OtterBox Entrepreneurial Scholarship has been
awarded and the company plans to continue in years to come. "It's
important to reward success and support young emerging business leaders
because they are our future," Curt Richardson said.
