Community Service
CVBC in the Community
We have partnered with Progression Athletics International to help them with their mission of helping at-risk youth through sports and offer them a better life. CVBC takes pride in teaching our players good habits both on and off the court and watching them grow as individuals by giving back to their community. For more information check out Progression Athletics International.
Also, new this season: CVBC families will participate in a new organization, Change for Children’s. This organization benefits Children’s Hospital Los Angeles by funding specific initiatives in their pediatric cancer unit. It’s easy! Players and their families are given a collection jar and asked to put inside their spare change! Over time, a few cents really adds up! CVBC hopes to fund a TV and Video Game Cart for kids who are receiving treatment, or a Holiday Dinner for families who are spending time in the hospital during festive periods. Together, we can change lives one jar at a time! For more information check out change4childrens.org
