Bakken API and SandPro proudly teamed up to present the Bakken Bag Fest, a one-of-a-kind fundraising event for the oil and gas sector that’s all about giving back. This high-energy day raised funds to support local children through Companions for Children and the Bakken API Scholarship Program, two initiatives investing in the future of our workforce and community leaders.

This year’s event drew 79 teams and 275 attendees!

Alongside the cornhole tournament, guests enjoyed axe throwing, dart boards, and pool tables, with cozy seating areas provided by Rae Creates to kick back and relax between rounds.

Held on Saturday, February 1st at the Clarion Convention Center, Bakken Bag Fest offered a unique space for industry networking while engaging with the community, and having a whole lot of fun in the process.

Together, we raised an incredible $46,625.36!

This success wouldn’t have been possible without some seriously dedicated people. A huge shoutout to the powerhouse team from Companions for Children – Youth Mentoring for planning and executing such a seamless event. And to the API Bakken Chapter, thank you for your ongoing support, guidance, and hands-on help that made this event thrive.

To every volunteer, team member, and sponsor – you were the heart of Bakken Bag Fest. Your generosity and energy created something truly special, and we’re so grateful for your role in making a lasting impact on local kids.
