Overview
Mission
To raise funds through events and contributions for the purpose of providing grants for charities, scholarships and community projects.
What it reported doing in 2024
Bocce and Cornhole.CBCA, through volunteers, runs one of the largest bocce ball leagues in the United States and one of the largest cornhole leagues in California. The bocce league has 180 teams, 1,800 players, and plays year round. Cornhole has more than 100 teams, and nearly 600 players. These two activities form an important social hub for the community and serve the community year round. Profits raised from league and rental/tournament fees are invested back into the community through grants that support student needs (grammar, middle, and high school), civic projects, local arts and theater, and feeding and clothing people in need.
