Help Rotary to help the Kids...by spreading the word.  Let's sell out the show!

Gord Bamford is an international recording artist, Canadian country music superstar, and multi-award winning singer and songwriter. He picks guitar and pens songs with some of the best musical talent in the world. He is ever more selected to share the stage with an extraordinary list of artists including Reba McEntire, Tim McGraw, Brooks & Dunn, and the legendary George Strait. Gord Bamford is living his childhood dream.

Gord grew up enjoying the rural life at Lacombe, Alberta, where his days were busy with school, sports and chores. Gord’s family recognized the need and importance of community opportunities in the social and personal development of their children. Gord and his sisters became engaged in a variety of community organizations and activities where their experiences yielded a sense of belonging and purpose. One of the most profound for Gord was 4-H.

Like most kids, Gord could not foresee the impact that 4-H values and vision would have on his life. He was merely having fun with friends. Yet, underlying the fun, Gord was learning invaluable life lessons – responsibility and leadership, preservation of country life, and service to community. Little did he know those 4-H values would lead him down a path of remarkable success and an even deeper sense of worldly purpose.

It is no wonder that there is another dream Gord is beginning to fulfil – the dream of building communities and helping kids. Like many successful artists, Gord wants to ‘give back’. Unlike many, Gord is pursuing that dream with resolve, commitment, and true ambition. In 2008, he established the Gord Bamford Charitable Foundation. In two short years of fundraising, Gord’s team has raised nearly a quarter of a million dollars. The Foundation’s proceeds are distributed to youth serving organizations. The mission of the Gord Bamford Charitable Foundation is: To offer under-privileged youth and single parent families in Canada an equal opportunity in life by providing monies to support education, health care, and music.
