Condors Community Update: Playoffs come home to Bakersfield

Condors Coach's Show Live from the DBA Street Faire Thursday

Silent Jersey Auction to Benefit Underprivileged Kern Youth:

During the course of the three home games, the Condors are holding the Season-Worn Jersey Off Our Backs Silent Auction. The silent auction for the burgundy 10th Anniversary jerseys worn by the Condors throughout the season begins on Tuesday and concludes at the end of the second intermission during Saturday's game. Alternate Captain Scott Balan's #20 jersey will be auctioned off live during the second intermission of Tuesday's game.

The silent auction bidding sheets will be located at the table behind section 110 at Tuesday and Wednesday's games. At Saturday's game the bidding sheets will be located behind section 103.

The proceeds raised from this event will benefit the youth of Kern County through the Active 20/30 Club, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for special needs children in Kern County. Last year the event set a silent auction record raising a total of $20,250.
