One decision. It takes two minutes. Register as an organ and tissue donor. The event is a passion project for Producer Doug Vickers OAM, a long-time rodeo man who’s produced many large-scale rodeo events across Australia. Rodeo 4 Life audiences enjoy an ‘edge of their seat’ experience with a thrilling, action-packed night of electrifying live rodeo and country music entertainment. While Rodeo 4 Li
fe is exhilarating for the crowds who watch, Australia’s bull riding champions won’t just be bucking for the grand prize when they burst from chutes on powerful bulls in the ride of their lives; they’ll risk all by ‘riding for a greater cause’ – to raise bucks that can save lives through funding organ transplant research at the RPA Transplant Institute (RPATI). Rodeo 4 Life producer Doug Vickers is more than a businessman, he’s also a grateful RPA liver transplant recipient who’s doing much more than setting the bar high for Australian rodeo sports entertainment; he’s also increasing awareness of organ donation and funding essential life-saving organ transplant research with 100% of profits dedicated to research conducted at the RPATI. Royal Prince Alfred Hospital (RPA) has long been Australia’s pioneers in organ transplant research and surgery having saved thousands of lives. Rodeo 4 Life events are conducted in accordance with policies, rules and industry standards of Rodeo Services Australia(RSA), and the NSW Code of Practice for animals used in rodeo events. Rodeo 4 Life events are conducted in accordance with animal welfare standards, registration and licensing systems of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA). An RSPCA representative is on site to oversee events, along with a veterinarian.
