Fund Established for Professional Bull Rider Beni Paulson
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (January 10, 2003) – The Professional Bull Riders (PBR) and the Pro Bull Riding Outreach organization are joining together to establish the Beni Paulson fund.
On January 8, 2003, professional bull rider Beni Paulson's wife, son, daughter and mother-in-law were in a serious car accident. His wife, Lisa, and 6-week-old daughter were thrown from the car. His wife, Lisa, is in a sedated coma from which she may soon be released. His daughter, however, did not survive the accident. The fund will assist Paulson and his family with medical expenses. Donations can be sent to Pro Bull Riding Outreach, P.O. Box 619, Wickenburg, AZ 85358. Please make checks to Pro Bull Riding Outreach with “Paulson Family” in the memo.
Lisa suffered a fractured skull, a broken neck, a broken pelvis and various injuries to her ribs and spleen. According to Paulson, the prognosis for Lisa is positive. It appears as though her injuries will not have a long-term, permanent effect. Beni's son, Cheyden, and mother-in-law escaped the accident without injury. Cheyden’s innocence and laughter have been the center of the family’s stability throughout the last days of tragedy.
Paulson joined the PBR in 2001 competing in both the PBR’s elite Built Ford Tough Series tour and the U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Co. Challenger Tour.
The Professional Bull Riders, Inc. is headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado and has over 700 athletes competing in more than 100 PBR sanctioned competitions. The PBR broadcasts competitions in Canada, Australia, Sweden and Russia and entertains more than one million spectators a year, making bull riding one of the fastest growing spectator sports in America and around the world.
Be sure to keep them in your prayers tonight and always
