BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
October is breast cancer awareness month, and Links for Life is hosting a Scooters for Hooters Poker Run event this weekend. I’m Eric J Dockery, your Bakersfield neighborhood reporter. This event has been revving up awareness, in support of breast cancer in recent years.
The organization has been supporting the community for multiple years, starting a Poker Run in 2017 in support of Natalie Barrick.
Bobbie Roy a supporter of the organization said “We do not only have the Poker Run, but we also have raffling, gift baskets, and all kinds of stuff. We get a lot of donations from people. That helps us bring in more money for us to be able to donate every last penny that we make to Links for Life to help another woman in need.”
