 |
|
| I give to a few of the rider "relief" type funds/charities out there... I think it's a good cause, so I thought I'ld post about that in this section here to help support riders. I plan to donate to some again this year (one at the PBR Finals and one at NFR). |

Being new to bullriding can you tell me more about what the "relief" funds are. Other than the Finals last year I have only been to one other PBR event and that was in Dallas and I heard an announcement about it. Sounded like if you contributed or bought a ticket you might win something?
Is it usual just a donation for the cause type of thing, are there several different funds? |

The big one I know about is the Resistol Relief Fund:

It looks like they are doing some benefit things at the Finals this year.

Hi, the different relief type funds help riders cover medical expenses where insurances can't. There are a few different ones out there. Also, there are some rodeo events held to help certain rodeo contestants in need also. |
