Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) November 24, 2014

Exclusive Genetics, a leader in the bucking bull industry returns to Las Vegas, Nevada for the fourth consecutive year to feature its $ 1.5 million Bucking Bull Games. The Games will be held December 4-13 parallel to the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, when over 250,000 fans converge on Las Vegas for the “world series” of rodeo.

Bucking Bull Games will present, over the course of 10 days, five bucking bull events with a record high $ 1.5 million in payouts to winners. Championships will be determined in categories including the Million Dollar Bucking Bull Championship Final Round, the Second Chance Championship, and the Finale of the Bull and Rider Tournament.

This prestigious event will also feature a special event called Buck Autism Weekend. Sponsored by Branded Cities Network, the campaign aims to raise funds and awareness to support families who have children diagnosed with autism.

Billy Jaynes, CEO of Orchard, Texas-based Exclusive Genetics, Bucking Bull Games and the Million Dollar Bucking Bull Championship, as well as Founder of Buck Autism is confident that, “Folks in the bucking bull community are some of the most generous and compassionate people I know. They rally around a cause and I am happy that Buck Autism and its goals have touched so many people in a positive way.” He added, “We are also pleased to see corporations supporting the campaign, including Branded Cities Network. Their displaying of a Public Service Announcement on the Harmon Corner Digital Board in Las Vegas will be paramount to raising awareness about the events in support of the National Autism Association.”

Wendy Fournier of the National Autism Association expressed her gratitude in being able to be involved with the Buck Autism Campaign saying, “With 1 in 68 children in the United States affected by autism, we are blessed to have partnered with Billy Jaynes who continues to work hard to raise awareness of NAA within the bucking bull industry. We are looking forward to the December Bucking Bull Games Championship where we will continue the Campaign including charity events encompassing Buck Autism Weekend.”

Events will be held both at Cowboy Marketplace in the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino, as well as the historic rodeo arena at Horseman’s Park next to Sam’s Town Hotel and Gambling Hall. Bucking Bull Games is sponsored by Purina Animal Nutrition LLC and Sam’s Town Hotel & Gambling Hall.
