Bakken Bag Fest is a one-day cornhole tournament hosted by SandPro and the Bakken API Chapter, bringing together businesses across the Bakken oil and gas industry. It’s a fun, competitive way to connect, network, and give back — all while raising funds that create opportunities and brighter futures for local kids.

The organization recruits, screens, trains, and matches adult volunteers with children who benefit from having an additional mentor and role model in their life. Mentors provide a child with someone to talk to, confide in, and share experiences with, creating a lasting impact.
Bakken API Scholarships: The Bakken Chapter of the American Petroleum Institute is a nonprofit made up of service-oriented individuals who support the local oil and gas industry and the surrounding community. The chapter provides scholarships for students pursuing post-secondary education at a college, university, or trade school.
