Other Sports Ok Gang, Need Your Help With Ideas For a Charity Drive - Page 3

**Easy 6** · 11-05-2021, 03:01 PM

It turns out that our very own Haywire used to be a semi-pro bullrider, and at his ancient age of 45 he is looking to ride one more monster next spring for charity... and recapture some of the old glory for himself, before he's too old to do it anymore

He has asked me for help, but the truth is I have NO experience with this kinda thing whatsoever... closest I ever got was donating $50 to SOC

Really needing help with this, and in fact would prefer to pass off the heavy lifting due to my inexperience

But the basic idea is to have the board donate whatever they can, and then donate 100% of the proceeds to charity

Haywire will provide training videos as he prepares over the winter, and then live stream the actual bull ride this coming spring

The biggest question is which charity, it could be anything from Wounded Warriors in honor of Randall Flagg, to something like the Make-A-Wish foundation

We want the board to decide that question, but beyond that would ANYONE like to help tackle this project?... because, again, I have no clue at all

We have a 300 lb ram sheep with his testicles cut off that free runs the farm. He doesn’t know if he is a pig or a horse or a cow and takes turns with all of them. We call him sheepsquatch. He sometimes will take a full run at you but I hit him in the head with whatever is closest and he stops. Anyways how about we see if bueller can ride him for 8 seconds too. I will take video and you can donate to his new charity.(st. Catherine hospital emergency room)

Just a thought

Haywire will ride that sumbitch until its balls tap out and drop off

Also, do you have any internet fundraising experience?

I have an in law who rode PBR. On one ride he tore his abdominal muscles from his pelvic bone. He had it surgically repaired and went back to ride some more and did it again. He had his head stepped on at least once as well. He won Reno one year and made it to the finals a couple times. He's a really nice guy but he is dumber than a box of rocks. God bless.

Figure out how to accept donations and who will be the collector/distributor of funds.
Post threads on CP when certain stages of event are happening (conditioning, practice rounds) with links to donate.

Consider me an idea man, not the money guy

We're leaning Wounded Warriors, because who can't get behind that? that said our ears are open to any worthy charity... maybe some mod could help craft a good poll for donaters to choose from

On point. One easy thing you can do is PM Kyle and see if he'd be good using the Donate link at the top of the page for the fundraiser, then taking care of the donation (or having one of us do it).

And if not that option of digger's link, setting up a PayPal account or a GoFundMe (depending on the fees the latter takes) would be easy enough.

I'm happy to help with the money and/or tech or mod side of things.

I'm definitely not the promoter type... I'll help upload the video and then create a thread and be like, hey guys, looks at this testicleless dummy on a bull.

Also Tunnels to Towers payoff mortgages of military and first responders whose loved ones died in service so their families can keep their homes.

Then there is Hope for the Warriors Gary Lt.Dan Sinise is a spokesperson for. Assistance for US service members and their families that have been affected by injuries or death while serving. It recently received a 4-star rating from Charity Navigator which is a great resource for these sorts of things.

Without a competent tech savvy guiding hand taking the lead, its not going anywhere... I'm the wrong guy to lead this effort, I'm sorry

Yeah, I forgot about Tunnels to Towers. The Marine Corp Law Enforcement Foundation is another solid one.

It sounds like it's going to be WW though, which is perfectly fine. I just thought I'd throw another option out there. Makes no difference to me one way or the other, I'm watching HayWire's beastality show regardless.

We're rolling into the weekend, someone will most likely take it on in the next day or two.
