Spruce Meadows 50/50 sales volunteer opportunity!



Spruce Meadows Leg Up Foundation volunteer opportunity!

Attn: 4-H Alberta clubs, members, leaders and families.

The Spruce Meadows Leg Up Foundation has been created to support initiatives that bring positive change to the lives of Canadians.

One way that the foundation is raising funds is through the sale of 50/50 tickets at each of the Spruce Meadows Tournaments and select special events.

We need a great deal of assistance to realize this vision of supporting the many charities in need.

We would like to ask your organization to assist us by providing volunteers to sell 50/50 tickets at Spruce Meadows events. Ticket sellers need to be a minimum of 18 years of age or 16 years if accompanied by an adult.

The upcoming Summer Series tournaments, http://www.sprucemeadows.com/tournaments/ will each have 50/50 raffles and will have a winner drawn each day of the tournament.

We are particularly mindful of the needs of the residents of Fort McMurray and will be devoting a large portion of the proceeds from the 50/50 funds generated in the next 2 months to charities that will support the people of Fort McMurray.

We realize that many organizations are in need of raising funds, so an honorarium, to be determined at the end of the Tournament Season, will be allocated to those that have assisted us throughout the season.

If you or your club are interested in volunteering as 50/50 ticket sellers for any of the upcoming tournaments (June 16-19, June 30- July3, or September 7-11) please contact Brett Waldroff of the Leg Up Foundation, at Brett.Waldroff@sprucemeadows.com, and A.J. Smith of the 4-H Foundation of Alberta, at smith@4hab.com, for more details and to sign up. Any members that volunteer on behalf of a club will have their hours counted towards the honorarium, which will be split between all participating Clubs, and the 4-H Alberta Legacy Fund to be used for 4-H programming.

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!!
