CONDORS IN THE COMMUNITY: Condors Players in Taft and Mascots Play Tennis

The Bakersfield Condors welcomed a special guest into the locker room prior to Sunday’s game. 12-year old Nathan Garcia got to meet the team and coaches before receivinghis Spirit of Condorstownaward. Nathan has terminal brain cancer and is struggling to make it to his 13th birthday on December 17. Despite his prognosis, Nathan maintains an attitude of living life to the fullest and helping others. His birthday wish was not for himself, but to help other sick kids. He has asked the community to donate toys to the children in hospitals and so far more than 1,000 toys have been collected.
