READ A BOOK, HELP A COWBOY!
October 1 through December 24, ten percent of the net proceeds from all of my book sales are donated to the Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund
Back in 2013, Shanna Hatfield was researching details for The Christmas Cowboy, the first book in the Rodeo Romance series. She wanted to know how much medical care an injured cowboy would receive at a rodeo versus going to the hospital.
In the story, the hero is a saddle bronc rider named Tate who sustains an injury at a rodeo. In an attempt to get my facts straight for the story, Shanna reached out to the Justin Sportsmedicine Team®. Through mobile medical centers, they provide care at more than 125 PRCA rodeos annually. Their responses to her questions were extremely helpful and she was so impressed with them, she wanted to do a little something in return.
So she launched a campaign to donate a portion of her book sales to the JCCF during the month of December.
In 2015, Shanna added the month of November to her promotion, giving two months to raise funds for JCCF. Then she extended the promotion period for her Read a Book, Help a Cowboy campaign to October 1!
“If you enjoy rodeos and the cowboys who make them possible (or reading about them in books), I hope you’ll take a look at the JCCF. It’s a great organization that really does make a difference when these cowboys are injured. And I hope you’ll take a look at my books, too!
