Community Connection

Over 250 attendees, 6 wineries, 9 food vendors plus sponsors to benefit CSF Medical Non-Profit Organization. CSF's Mission statement: To advocate on behalf of those who are uninsured, are low-income and need a surgical procedure in order to maintain a healthy life so they may keep their employment and family economy from collapsing.

Founded in 1990, M.A.R.E. (Mastering Abilities Riding Equines) was born allowing special needs children and adults in Kern County to experience freedom of movement, freedom of spirit, and freedom from judgment. Today, M.A.R.E. continues to provide "Hope on Horseback," for exceptional equestrians in Kern County. M.A.R.E. is where miracles happen one stride at a time.

Supporters of organ and tissue donation came out to honor Jeffrey Johns at the foundation's annual gala and golf tournament. JJ's Legacy exists to educate and inspire our community to become registered organ and tissue donors, as well as honoring donor families and recipients in Kern County.
