PBR Donates money to the ProRodeo HOF

The PBR has donated $50,000 to the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame! Please go read the article. It states what everyone thinks, how can rodeo be repersented without a Hall of Fame?

"I spoke personally with PRCA Commissioner Troy Ellerman who both accepted and thanked us for our gesture," said PBR Vice President Cody Lambert of Merkel, Texas. Continued Lambert, "the PRCA is currently evaluating the Hall of Fame to ensure that it can sustain operations in the future. Our contribution will enable the Hall of Fame to get back on its feet and open sooner than what might otherwise be possible."
Lambert added that, "the PBR's roots run deep in pro rodeo since most of us (PBR founders) initially came from the PRCA ranks, not to mention that PBR President Ty Murray is a fixture in the Hall of Fame. Ultimately both the PBR and the PRCA are committed to promoting the western lifestyle, to not recognize each other would be a big mistake for the industry."

Well for everyone who is worried about this issue, why don't we all donate some money to them? Not sure if they'll take it but I'm thinking about sending a check for $5.00 to help. Figure there are over 2,000 members of the PRCA and 100x that many fans, imagine if we all sent $1.00 what we could do? Of course I know at least four slackers out there so I figure I better send what I can to cover for them!
