Last Friday night, (we’d) do it all again!💙🧡🎶
We had such a fun night out with staff members & their families cheering on ! Thank you to the Condors for having the CBCC Foundation for Community Wellness as the non-profit of the night on 2/6 & for the generous donation!

The donation received goes towards our on-going commitment to address the financial, educational, and emotional needs of individuals in Kern County who have been diagnosed with cancer. Through the foundation, we promote cancer awareness and prevention to decrease incidence and increase survivorship through early detection.
