Looking Back…
In 2017, Community Bridges launched Girl Legacy as a special 20th anniversary celebration. Thanks to our generous sponsors, everyone who attended, our talented CB girls, and all the amazing people who donated time and services to support Girl Legacy, the event was a great success — and we decided to make Girl Legacy an annual event.
