Dedicated to providing assistance to our brave service men and women.
The Wounded Heroes Fund (WHF) is a community-wide organization dedicated to providing assistance to brave service men and women returning home from the battlegrounds of Iraq and Afghanistan. Wendy Porter, the daughter of a Vietnam veteran, realized that more needed to be accomplished, especially for service members and their families to resume life after war. She could not help her father and other returning Vietnam veterans. However, as Executive Director of the Wounded Heroes Fund, she is leading the effort to help the men and women who fought for our freedom in the Middle East.

On November 12th, 2011 the Wounded Heroes Fund sponsored the event "Salute to Heroes Night with the Bakersfield Condors". All attendees who presented a valid military I.D. (active or retired) received up to 6 complementary terrace level tickets for the game. Condor players wore jerseys which were auctioned off after the game. Each jersey commemorated the 10th Anniversary of 9-11 and recognition of Seal Team Six. All proceeds benefited the Wounded Heroes Fund. Visit www.BakersfieldCondors.com for more Condors information.

Tobin James Executive Chef, Marc LeDuc, suggested that over a busy weekend at the winery and tasting room, donations for complimentary slices of his homemade wood-fired pizzas, could be collected to donate to the Kern County Wounded Heroes Fund (WHF). Owners Tobin James and Lance and Claire Silver support the WHF through wine donations for their fundraising events. They thought Chef Marc’s idea was excellent and offered to match the funds to be donated.
