Bank of the Sierra donates $4,000 to Fillmore Condors Cross Country. Accepting the check is treasure, Francisco Velazquez, President, Erika Arana, Coach Rafael Laureano and Condor athletes.

Fillmore Condors Cross Country youth running club would like to thank Bank of the Sierra for their generous donation of $4,000. The Condors is a non-profit organization that is managed by volunteers. Some volunteers ran as youth through the program in the 1980’s. In 2004 it slowly made a comeback with the dedication of coach and former athlete Rafael Laureano, who continues today to have a love and passion for the sport. The 2016 season was the club’s 12th year and has recently merged with Heritage Valley Blazers Inc., the local track & field program.

The purpose of the Condors club is to educate the youth with the fundamentals of the sport of cross country. The aim is to teach through the sport: sportsmanship, leadership, and bring local youth closer together through the love of the sport. Our organization is open to boys and girls ages 5-16 with all athletic abilities. The athletes compete on a course ranging from 2K to 4K depending on age. The club has been successful throughout the years in sending many talented local youth to compete at the National Junior Olympics.

The donation will be used for, clinics, races, national’s, senior high school scholarships to continue their running careers collegially and to help aid athletes who cannot financially afford expenses associated with cross country. Fillmore Condor’s Cross Country appreciates all your support, THANK YOU Bank of the Sierra!
