CAPL BarnBurner 2.0 THANK YOU!


 
 
2016 BARNBURNER 2.0 THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS & CONTRIBUTORS!!!

Proudly supporting the Alberta 4-H

 
On behalf of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Landmen and the 2016 Barnburner Committee, we would like to thank you all for your generous sponsorship of, and contributions to CAPL’s fundraiser for the Alberta 4-H.  Over the past 11 years the CAPL has raised over $149,000 for the Alberta 4-H, which provides for enriching experiences for youth throughout the province.  This year we continued our support of the Alberta 4-H at the 2016 CAPL Barnburner 2.0 !  We are extremely excited to announce that with the generous support of our 2016 sponsors and contributors, this year’s fundraiser was an amazing success, raising over $10,000.00 for the Alberta 4-H, bringing the total to $159,000 to date!!  This simply could not have happened without your investment in this fundraiser and in our 4-H youth.  The dollars raised will be contributed to the 7 different Regional Communications Competitions, Club Week at Olds College, and the Summer Camping Programs held province wide.

 

Thank you again for your participation in this event and dedication to the Alberta 4-H.  We appreciate your commitment and support and look forward to working with you all again next year!!
