Bringing Home The Cure – Passionate…Hope Filled … and Fighting Back!

W

hat fuels our passion?? It’s personal!

Cancer is very personal to almost everyone you meet. Perhaps you, someone in your family or your circle of influence has had their life affected by this cruel disease. The good news is, we’re getting closer to finding a cure… every individual, every dollar raised makes a difference, every day.

Five years ago, the Bakersfield Association of REALTORS® assembled a passionate group of REALTORS® and their Affiliate partners, who pledged themselves to join in the fight to help save lives of those battling this life-stealing monster. That passionate group became of our Team “Bringing Home the Cure”.

Their mission is bold and determined: to raise funds to help find a cure to defeat cancer… once and for all Our signature fund-raising event in support of this effort is a premier, multi-faceted Wine and Beer Tasting and Auction Event. Our beneficiaries: The American Cancer Society Relay for Life and the Kern County Cancer Fund. Both organizations serve a vital part in helping cancer patients in Kern County and all those who remain hope-

filled that cancer will one day be crushed.

Why do we fight? So we can celebrate those special people in our life who continue to fight and win… another day… another week… another month… another year. Special people like our precious friend, Julia Otis Smith! We love you Julia… we’re fighting for you!

‘Thanks to generous people like you and so many others… people who care… new research has been funded and new medications developed… extending and saving lives.”

– Julia Otis Smith We want to express our heartfelt gratitude to our many sponsors, donors and volunteers whose outpouring of generosity and tireless efforts have helped make tonight’s event such a fantastic success.

Your participation and support will make a difference.

Thank you for joining us this evening.
