JUSTIN COWBOY CRISIS FUND RECEIVES $50,000 GIFT
FROM TETON RIDGE FOUNDATION
Newly formed brand’s contribution will help provide financial assistance to injured PRORODEO® athletes
(September 15, 2021) COLORADO SPRINGS, COLORADO – The Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund, a charity of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association, has been gifted $50,000 from the Teton Ridge Foundation, the philanthropic wing of the newly created western brand, Teton Ridge.
Visionary entrepreneur, Thomas Tull formed Teton Ridge to preserve the traditions and values of America’s iconic western culture and heritage by investing in western performance sports, athletes, events, branding and land conservation.
The Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund was established by the Justin Boot Company, the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association and the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association in 1989 to provide financial assistance to athletes injured through their participation in professional rodeo activities.
The donation from the Teton Ridge Foundation will assist the organization in relieving injured riders of financial stress fromliving expenses, physical therapy and more.
“With no guaranteed salaries or injured reserve provisions in the sport of rodeo, professional athletes often feel financial hardship when they sustain serious, sidelining injuries,” said Tom Glause, Interim CEO and COO of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. “Teton Ridge Foundation’s contribution will help us continue to be a hand up for rodeo athletes and their families.”
To date, more than $9 million has been awarded through the JCCF to more than 1,200 injured rodeo athletes and their families.
