Help get Ben Bode to the bullriding world finals
Donation protected
Hi, I’m Jason. I along with my wife Tania are seeking sponsorship for our eldest son Ben Bode. Ben is an exceptional young bull-rider who has (along with his brother Jack) qualified to represent Australia at the Youth Bull Riders World Finals (YBR) in Abilene, Texas USA in August 2022. The YBR is a fabulous opportunity to compete against the best junior bull riders in the world.
Both Ben and Jack along with their parents, Tania and Jason and their younger brother Tom, have resided in Biloela for the last 16 years. During this time, the boys have attended St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School and Biloela State High School. They have been involved with Tennis, Cricket, both Soccer and Rugby league whilst growing up, however a couple of years ago their interest in bull riding began. Through hours of practise and kilometers travelled to attend rodeos all over Queensland and northern New South Wales, the boy’s passion for bull riding has soared.
Last year, Ben was the National Rodeo Association (NRA) Reserve Champion U18 Bull Rider. Over the three weekends of finals Ben secured 3 wins from 3 events, eventually winning the final series buckle for 2021. Prior to this Ben attended St Brendan’s College in Yeppoon, a school renowned for producing exceptional bull riders, namely Aaron Klier the current PBR champion. In 2020, Ben was awarded the College Bull Rider of the Year Buckle. Bens’ achievements over the last two years have been numerous and have cumulated in him being offered an Intercollegiate Athletic Scholarship at Odessa College in Texas to commence in August 2022. This is a great opportunity for him to pursue his passion for riding.
Any assistance you can provide to help this young man reach his potential is very much appreciated.
