The 1st Annual Peter Burgener Memorial Charity Concert - Thank You!

Dear Friends,

On behalf of CAUSE Canada, The University of Calgary and the Burgener family, we would like to thank you for your support of the 1st Annual Peter Burgener Memorial Charity Concert. Due to your ticket purchases and generous donations, we are pleased to tell you that over $75,000 was raised. Funds will go toward CAUSE Canada's efforts in Maternal / Newborn Child Health initiatives in Honduras and Guatemala. In addition, $25,000 will be used to establish the Peter Burgener Memorial Scholarship in the Faculty of Environmental Design at the University of Calgary.

With the money raised and the wonderfully entertaining evening enjoyed by our 250 guests, we couldn't be happier with the success of this inaugural event. No doubt Peter would have been very humbled and very proud that his efforts of giving back to his community continue.

Thank you to Barney Bentall and The Cariboo Express for providing the evening's entertainment. What an amazingly talented group of musicians. Also, a big thank you to Geoff, Elizabeth and all the staff at Theatre Junction Grand. It was the perfect venue for this event. Planning has already begun for next year and we are anticipating the continued growth and success of this annual fund raiser for years to come.

Once again, thank you very much and we look forward to seeing you again next year.

Sincerely,
Sam Hester, John Burgener, Matt Masters, David Burgener and Ross Roy
