Gord Bamford has partnered with 4-H clubs across Canada to provide a 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 latest CD release titled "Day Job" is available with hits such as "Day Job" and "My Daughter's Father" this cd is a MUST to add to your Gord Bamford collection. In addition, your club can sell the Album of the Decade (as awarded by Canadian Country Music News) "Honkytonks & Heartaches" .

Your club will benefit from special pricing and additional incentives by being involved with this fundraiser.

With $5/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."

"Thank you Gord, for your true support of 4-H in Canada. All the members in our area that had the chance to meet you backstage at Ridgefest during the summer of 2010 were impressed with how approachable and genuine you are. We were most impressed by your care, dedication and support for 4-H. We are making up a plaque to attach to the framed CD set. Thanks again for everything and I can promise you this "prize" will be displayed with pride in our Club Hall" says Mark Harrison Eastern Kings 4-H Club Canning, Nova Scotia.

$1.00 from each CD goes to the Alberta 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.
