9th Annual Read A Book, Help A Cowboy fundraiser with Shanna Hatfield @ShannaHatfield #fundraiser #books #cowboys
Read a Book, Help a Cowboy!
October 1 through December 24, ten percent of the net proceeds from all of Shanna Hatfield’s book sales are donated to the Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund.
The JCCF is a non-profit organization that assists rodeo athletes who’ve sustained catastrophic injuries and are unable to work for an extended period. Every book purchased during this promotional period adds to the donation total. Don’t forget to include books on your Christmas lists!
Back in 2013, she 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 her facts straight for the story, she 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 that 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, she 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 Shanna hopes you’ll take a look at her books, too!
Be sure to get your copy of A Cowboy Christmas which includes interviews with rodeo cowboys who’ve received a hand-up from the JCCF.
Remember, from October 1 through December 24, every book purchased helps benefit the JCCF! With more than 100 to choose from and formats of paperback, hardback, digital, and audio, there’s sure to be a book for everyone, including those on your holiday shopping list!
