Kissmas

WHAT IS KISSmas? 

When KISSmas first began in 2017, we never imagined how many lives it would touch—not only the youth who directly benefit from the event, but also those in the community who support the event. That is why I am so pleased to announce that this year KISSmas will benefit tweens and teens in the community through the services of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Kern County

.

The first Boys & Girls Club opened its doors in Bakersfield in 1966 and over the decades it’s grown to include 69 Clubhouses and School-campus sites throughout Kern County serving nearly 10,000 youth every day with engaging and educational out-of-school programming. In addition, the Club’s nutrition program serves over 4,500 meals a day to the community’s children helping to combat food insecurities in Kern County.

We are also thrilled that this year’s KISSmas event will once again take place at Chuy’s Mesquite Broiler, 8660 Rosedale Highway, Bakersfield, CA on December 1, 2023, from 6-9:00 P.M. The event will feature a live DJ, magician, caricature artist, ugly sweater contest, raffles and more. So much fun for the whole family!

Thank you,

Sherry Morrow, Organizer
