Other Sports Ok Gang, Need Your Help With Ideas For a Charity Drive - Page 8

**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

And providing concessions.

Plenty of room to tailgate and have some fun.

Arena is not far from me. Might be a little a BBQ at my place after.

Heres a question we didn't cover earlier... you're aiming for maybe a two months from now timeline, but that puts the event in the middle of january

How the hell is that gonna work? pretty sure southwest MO isn't warm enough for that... shouldn't we aim for spring?

**HayWire** · 11-17-2021, 06:09 PM

Just got off the phone.

30 bulls incoming

KS Smitty · 11-17-2021, 06:49 PM

Who will be riding these bulls? Do you need rodeo clowns?

I would have expected elaborating on "Come on CP.......this is all going to wounded warriors."

....or more to the point, TimBone's question.

So you're going to ride 30 bulls in one night? No need to get snarky.

I apologize sir.

No snarky intended.

This started as a joke.

Got kinda cranky about it.

I was going to ride 1 bull and donate the money to wounded warriors. Had a stupid idea and rolled with it.

Went and looked at the arena today. 500 to rent for 1 night.

The idea was for donations to wounded warriors.

Now here we are,
A full buck out....talked to a stock contractor earlier. he's bringing me 30 bulls.

Thanks all

I nominate UNBOUND (www.unbound.org) as the receiving charity. It's a highly-rated, award-winning organization based here in Kansas City which applies at least 91 cents of every donated dollar to actual program services. They provide direct assistance to impoverished families in more than 16 3rd World countries to help them break the chain of living in poverty. They do this by offering college scholarships to deserving students, supporting parents' groups and co-ops so that budding entreprenuers can receive financial assistance to establish their own business to become self-sufficient, and providing needed support to the elderly (UNBOUND is the only organization of its type to offer sponsorships of the elderly). It constantly receives high ratings and awards from charity watchdog groups, and is on Consumer Reports magazine's Top Ten List of Charitable Organizations.

It's good, I'm just not familiar with bull riding terms so I have no idea what a full buck out is.

And FWIW I would come see this and donate to Wounded Warriors.
