SASKATOON, SK - Canada's leading music education charity MusiCounts, celebrated the start of Country Music Week, with an announcement that the Gord Bamford Foundation is renewing its commitment to MusiCounts with a $100,000 donation. The Gord Bamford Foundation had previously made a generous donation of $100,000 in 2014.

A natural fit for the Gord Bamford Foundation, I'm so very proud to announce this donation today,"  said Gord Bamford.
