Why We Do It

Every October, Connect California Homes proudly GOES PINK in support of Breast Cancer Awareness & Prevention. Breast cancer touches millions of lives every year, and our mission is to raise awareness and provide meaningful support to those affected, right here in our local community.

We turn compassion into action through our annual Connect to a Cause campaign, a free community initiative that shines a light on women’s health and brings people together for a shared purpose. Over the years, we’ve raised thousands of dollars for nonprofits like HERS Breast Cancer Foundation and Culinary Angels, organizations making a real difference in the lives of women facing cancer. Read more about past years here.

🎶 ANNUAL FUNDRAISING EVENT 🎶

The highlight of our Connect to a Cause campaign is our annual fundraiser, a high-energy, music-packed evening of fun, prizes, and philanthropy. Previously held at BottleTaps in Pleasanton, 2026's event will be held at SideTrack Bar + Grill.

This isn’t your average bingo night. Think throwback hits, top 40 jams, and a lively crowd all playing for a great cause! Guests enjoy amazing food and drinks while competing in three exciting rounds of music bingo. In past events, we’ve also hosted raffles with incredible prizes like tickets to the Livermore Wine Trolley, premium wine bottles, and gift cards to local spots, all to raise money for our nonprofit partners.

Past Impact Highlights:

2022, 2024, & 2025: Raised over $3,000 for Culinary Angels, a Pleasanton-based nonprofit that delivers free, organic meals and nutrition education to cancer patients and their caregivers throughout the Tri-Valley.
2023: Partnered with HERS Breast Cancer Foundation, raising funds and contributing to their mission of supporting breast cancer patients with post-surgical products and compassionate care.
Our partnered restaurant venue has generously donated 15% of profits during our past events, and 100% of raffle ticket sales have gone directly to our nonprofit partners.

Whether you’ve attended in the past or are joining us for the first time, we promise a night full of laughter, connection, and community impact.
