The Cause
One of the great things about the sport of rodeo is the camaraderie, and sense of family among the participants. That’s what this New Year’s bullriding is all about. This past fall, a member of our family was severely injured competing in the sport he loves. A violent fall from the back of a bull ended in devastating fashion for Montana Pro Rodeo Circuit standout Tyler Dellen. He broke two vertebrae’s in his neck and was quickly transported to St. Vincent’s Hospital in Billings, Montana where a six hour surgery lasted through the night. We’re happy to report that Tyler is recovering quite well at his parent’s house in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. However, this accident has left huge medical bills for the Dellen family to deal with. That’s why we are coming together as a rodeo community to put on this bullriding fundraiser. With the purchase of every ticket there will be a home cooked meal, a chance to bid on many great silent auction items, and tons of action packed bull riding excitement. We hope to put on a great show, have a good time, and help a wonderful cause. We hope you will decide to become involved in our event. Thanks so much for your time.
If you would like to donate to the relief fund, but won’t be attending the event, an account has been set up to go towards Tyler’s medical expenses. You can send donations to the Tyler Dellen Relief Fund, PO Box 881097 Steamboat Springs, CO 80488.
