We are happy to announce that we will be hosting our 15th Annual Opening of the Bay at 7pm, on Thursday, May 27, 2021 virtually. Despite the event being canceled last year, due to the pandemic, we were able, with the help of our wonderfully generous sponsors and supporters, to raise over $100,000.00. Which was then matched not once, but twice! All funds raised, went directly to providing New Bedford students a safe, fun, educational, and healthy summer.

We will miss being together with you this year, in person, but look forward to being together virtually to have some CBC fun, while raising funds for CBC students. Supporting this annual fundraiser is what enables our students to participate free of charge. Your support is what empowers CBC to present these deserving kids with the opportunity to get off the streets and onto the water.
