The Boogie the Bridge Cultural Fund (BBCF) was established in 2005 to help support, develop and nurture creative growth for Kamloops children and youth by offering funds to help cover the cost of programs, events or workshops such as music, theatre, dance and arts.

The BBCF supports children and youth between the ages of 5 and 18 years who are in need of financial assistance. Funds are awarded based on needs and merit, with annual awards ranging up to $500 per child.

Thanks to community support and participation in the annual CFJC TV Boogie the Bridge, this fund continues to grow and have an incredible impact in our community.
