For more than five years, Mark Seilkop has served in an ownership
position with Texas Industrial Sales in Houston. Mark Seilkop engages
with the Houston community in a number of ways beyond his construction
and engineering work, making annual appearances in both the
ConocoPhillips Rodeo Run and the Sugar Land Turkey Trot.
Each
year, all funds generated through registration fees at the
ConocoPhillips Rodeo Run are directed to the Houston Livestock Show and
Rodeo Educational Fund. Since 1988, this money has been used by the fund
to provide hundreds of annual scholarship opportunities to Texas
students aspiring to higher education. Over the last 27 years, the rodeo
has raised an estimated $4.5 million for college scholarships.
In
2015 alone, the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Educational Fund
provided more than 750 collegiate scholarship opportunities. To meet
scholarship requirements, US citizens and Texas residents must be
graduating high school seniors at an eligible school. They must also
fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. For more

Experienced sales executive Mark Seilkop has owned and operated Texas Industrial Sales for the last five years. Outside of work, Mark Seilkop frequently participates in local running events, including the annual Sugar Land Turkey Trot.
This Thanksgiving morning, Finish Line Sports will host the 30th annual Sugar Land Turkey Trot. Sponsored by Memorial Hermann Surgical Hospital First Colony, ASICS, Finish Line Sports, and Dr. Tom Arnold of Today’s Vision, his year’s event aims to draw a record 2,000 participants. The Turkey Trot will begin with the Sean Scroggins Memorial Kids Mile, followed by a five-mile race in which 13,000 runners are expected to compete. There will also be a 2.8-mile Walk & Jog for those who wish to participate noncompetitively. Prior to the event, Finish Line Sports will host practice runs on October 8 and November 5.
During registration, participants can donate to 13 nonprofit organizations, including the National Park Foundation, the MD Anderson Pediatric Brain Tumor Research Fund, and Cherish Our Children International. On the day of the race, Turkey Trot attendees are encouraged to bring shoes, warm clothing, and nonperishable food to support the East Fort Bend Human Needs Ministry.
