Community Involvement

Racing for a Cure is an annual event that benefits the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation, the Kids with Cancer Society in Edmonton, Alberta.

What is it? Well, do you have the need for speed? Have you always wanted to ride in an exotic car? If so, the Racing for a Cure event is where you need to be! Join us every year at the Castrol Raceway to experience a fast paced, thrilling ride around the track in one of many exotic vehicles ranging in value from over $300,000 to more than $2million.

In 2015, New Age Oilfield Services partnered with the Magic of Christmas charity to spread a little Christmas spirit to Calgary families in need. In partnership with a group of small businesses, New Age Oilfield Services helped raise $15,481.95 to buy toys and gifts for their toy drive, benefiting the charity. Our very own Mark Rhodenizer put on his Santa suit and helped the team raid the shelves of a Calgary Canadian Tire before piloting the New Age big rig to the Magic of Christmas warehouse to drop off the much-needed donations.

Watch the video below to see how New Age Oilfield Services helped brighten Christmas day for plenty of Calgarians.
