Gord Bamford is partnering with 4-H clubs across Canada to provide an exclusive fundraising opportunity that will deepen the rural connection in communities across Canada.

The ”Rural Roots Run Deep” Fundraising Project provides 4-H
clubs & members the opportunity to sell Gord’s two CD’s
“Day Job” and "Honkytonks and Heartaches"!

Gord's brand new CD release titled "Day Job" is NOW AVAILABLE! In addition, your club can sell the Album of the Decade (as awarded by Canadian Country Music News) "Honkytonks & Heartaches" with hits such as "Blame it on that Red Dress" and "Little Guy" that topped the charts! Your club will benefit from special pricing and additional incentives by being involved with this fundraiser.

With $9/unit going directly back to your local 4H club, this could help meet a significant portion of your club's fundraising goals. 

"It is especially fitting that Gord has partnered with 4-H Canada, due to the fact that he is a former 4-H member,” says Mike Nowosad, CEO of the Canadian 4-H Council. “Gord exhibits all the characteristics that 4-H embodies and this is apparent in his life and his music."

NEW! Top-Secret Prize
The top-selling club in each province will receive a substantial prize! This top-secret prize will give your club the ability to create future. Awards will be tallied from April 1, 2010 to January 1, 2011 and announced at Leaders Conference in Red Deer AB, January 10-12, 2011.

The mission of the Canadian 4-H Council is to provide a strong national platform that offers innovative support and initiatives that inspire youth to become contributing leaders in their communities.

Participation in this fundraiser could lead to future opportunities in your community for 4-H members and leaders.

Future Fundraising Opportunities could include: 

• Your club hosting a Gord Bamford concert experience
• Your club hosting a guest appearance with Gord
• Future album sales such as Gord’s 1st Christmas album, set to be released in November 2010

$1.00 from each CD goes to the Alberta 4-H Legacy fund. The 4-H Foundation of Alberta will dedicate $0.50 from each CD to every 4-H Club in Canada that sells the CD.

“Not only do we get an opportunity to work with one of our successful 4-H Alumni, a portion of the CD sales will go to the Legacy Fund to enhance member and leader experiences through programs, workshops and special events,” says Bruce Banks, CEO of the 4-H Foundation of Alberta.
