CBCA Fundraising and Community Events
Each year thousands of people from all over the Bay Area travel to Clayton to attend one of our signature fundraising events like the CBCA Clayton Art & Wine Festival and the CBCA Clayton Oktoberfest. These events, while a staple of the Clayton community experience are also our principle fundraising efforts. Brought to life by hundreds of skilled & dedicated volunteers putting in thousands of hours and raising thousands of dollars each year. Profits from these events help touch countless causes, organizations and charities in our community. Our children and schools are the greatest benefactors receiving grants & scholarships ensuring a brighter future every parent and grandparent hopes for.Â
