Our History
In November of 1998, the Rider Relief Fund, initially named Resistol Relief Resources, Inc., was founded following Jerome Davis’ fall from Jerry Nelson’s bull, Knock ‘em Out John.  Jerome’s injury was serious and it ended his career as a bull rider. The outpouring of care and concern from friends, fans, sponsors, participants in and around the sport of bull riding resulted in the establishment of the Rider Relief Fund, a non-profit, 501 (c)(3) organization.
