BRAD NARDUCCI WINS FOR INFR

Pro Fantasy Rodeo (PFR) has been hosting a National Finals Rodeo Fantasy Game every year since 2003. As a part of the Fantasy game, PFR offers a Celebrity Charity Tattoo League. Celebrities pick a team and a charity.

Music Director Brad Narducci is the 2023 Celebrity Charity Tattoo League Champion! The Indian National Finals Rodeo (INFR) is his organization of choice! PFR is thrilled to donate proceeds of $5,000 to INFR.

Brad Narducci is a PRCA, PBR and INFR Music Director from Northwest Montana. Narducci’s been playing music for 13 years and comes from a family who is four generations deep with rodeo involvement. His great, great grandpa was the first to spur up rodeo interest as an Indian bronc rider from the Blackfeet Reservation.

“I made it my goal 13 years ago to be involved with INFR. It’s my culture. It’s all I’ve ever known. It’s always been one of my biggest goals,” said Narducci. INFR is unique for a number of reasons but the unity that comes from all nations joining to celebrate rodeo is what sets it apart. In Narducci’s words, “200 years ago, the tribes may have been feuding. But today, it doesn’t matter if you’re Seminole, Blackfeet or Crow. For one time of the year, it doesn’t matter what nation you’re a part of. We all become one tribe.” He likes to think of it as, “One tribe and one vibe, and that one vibe is rodeo.”

INFR and rodeo have given Narducci hope. “It’s given me a dream that has seemingly been something I can’t obtain because it’s ever growing. The true essence of rodeo is chasing that dream. The more you chase it, the more it grows and evolves,” he said.

Pro Fantasy Rodeo and Narducci are overjoyed that the gift is supporting a new INFR initiative to provide educational opportunities for youth interested in rodeo. Narducci recalled, “INFR is in incredible hands. Donna’s vision and leadership and all that she’s done is amazing. She’s grown the sport ten-fold in the last decade.” The future of the INFR is bright and its upward evolution has only just begun.

When told what the funds would be used for, Narducci replied, “That brings me so much happiness and excitement that I can’t even put it into words. To help youth get an opportunity that they might have never had is so humbling to me. You never know where the next World Champion is going to come from.” Narducci’s closing words showcase his genuine heart and passion for the INFR, “This all fires me up. Indian rodeo is here to stay and we’re doing everything in our power to ensure it does.”

Brad has not only been a great advocate and ambassador for Indian Rodeo, he is a partner and proud of where he came from. With this gift from Brad the INFR is excited to announce new opportunities for our youth members. The INFR will be starting the Fantasy Rodeo scholarship program. This program will be designed to help INFR youth members in attending rodeo clinics. Applications can be requested at the INFR office or on INFR.org.
