Monthly Restaurant Fundraisers
The North of the River Recreation Foundation proudly partners with local restaurants to host monthly fundraising events that bring our community together while supporting a great cause. These offer residents an easy and enjoyable way to give back - simply by eating at participating restaurants.
Each month, a different local restaurant donates a percentage of sales from a designated day or timeframe directly to the Foundation. Proceeds from these events help fund the Youth Scholarship Fund for youth across Bakersfield.
