Bull riders, line dancers and urban cowboys came together on the evening of Thursday, November 13, 2014 for Nurses For Newborns Foundation’s “Bucking for Babies.”  The event took place at the PBR Bar, St. Louis Ballpark Village.

8 seconds and $25 involved all that an aspiring contestant needed to ride the bull, and only $10 to purchase a bracelet for drink discounts and appetizers.  Those brave enough to ride the bull each got a t-shirt commemorating the event.  Prizes for the top 3 fundraisers included 2 round-trip American Airlines tickets, a Professional Bull Riding package, and concert tickets.

Nurses for Newborns provides a safety net for families most at-risk in order to prevent infant mortality, child abuse and neglect by providing in-home nursing visits which promote healthcare, education, and positive parenting skills.
