Other Sports Ok Gang, Need Your Help With Ideas For a Charity Drive - Page 10

**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

I'm sure Wounded Warriors will gladly take contributions in anyone's name without a rodeo. Maybe they don't want to be associated with that for a variety of reasons. Who really is this Randall guy anyway? Just a CP poster that no one has met? Are we for sure the book and his story is real? Have we seen physical evidence of either?

Why aren't you asking these questions to yourself?

Can't tell if you're actually trying to be helpful, or just being dick... either way just let us worry about those things

And there is no grift, this is all for charity

Not sure what the hell I'm doing but I can sure as duck click buttons.

Lots of great new developments to announce, Haywire has been on fire!

- he has secured a new, and much bigger arena than whats pictured for FREE

- Wounded Warriors is fully on board, the rodeo is getting its own section on their official webpage

- an actual WW will be coming to share a brief message of thanks at the rodeo

- we've been assigned our own personal WW rep

- WW is setting up a QR code on their webpage so that you can all KNOW that your donations are going straight to WW, and not into myself or Haywires pockets

When everything is lined up, we will be posting the links in this thread

We very much want to include the CP name and community in this, and look forward to hearing back from Austin Chief as to how we can accomplish that goal

Thats all for now, more to come!

**HayWire** · 11-19-2021, 02:24 PM

Here is where we are

I've dropped the GoFundMe.

I've had a few skeptics. I'm still trying to find someone who will help out.

Wounded warriors called this morning.

Once I register they will setup one of their pages for donations.
They'll do a press release etc.
If possible they will send a vet to speak.
Trying to get it figured out but she said they can give a QR code for admission. Scan and money goes straight to them
.

The arena had been a pain.

Just got back from talking to Longhorn Arena. The owner had 1 request. No outside food or drinks. There is a restaurant on sight.

She asked if we could use the restaurant to eat so they could recoup money.

Probably lay off this for a couple of weeks

Donations will not be accepted for now but I'm more than happy to accept volunteers.

Burgers and beer.....and the cost for the arena....
We'll do donations later but the are

Crap.. editing because I misspoke.

Arena is free..I repeat zero....nada ..zilch

Huge freaking indoor arena.

No outside food or drinks. Need to buy our burgers and beer from them.

**HayWire** · 11-19-2021, 02:41 PM

And as I've said before.

This is all charity

Please feel free to PM me if you'd like more info or have any questions.

Things are coming together nicely, this has real potential

KS Smitty · 11-19-2021, 04:09 PM

Great stuff! Good job Haywire, you're doing an awesome job getting things lined out. Keep at it and have some green bean casserole for Thanksgiving!

Thank you sir
.I assume that means your coming to volunteer?

Still need a few more....or 10

Sounds like a really awesome thing shaping up guys. Keep up the amazing work. Seriously.

A good friend of mine is a WW. I'm not sure what the dynamics are for WW getting someone to speak but if you end up needing a guy I could surely run it by him and see what he thinks. He's filled his life with kid's sports and helps our community alot after fighting the demons for a bit. He's always been pretty open about it.

This would be great.

I'd still love to have CP involved somehow

This would be a great start.

I still owe you from 13 years ago

I would love for him to help out.

I'd love to talk details.
