CBF Live 2nd Annual Gala Benefitting Cleaning For A Reason Honors Volunteers And Fundraisers

CBF Live, an in-person training and networking event for residential cleaning business owners, recently hosted the 2nd Annual Gala Benefitting Cleaning for a Reason. Cleaning for a Reason provides house cleaning services to families battling cancer. With over 400 attendees from across the globe, the event served as a testament to Cleaning for a Reason founder and cleaning industry consultant Debbie Sardone’s commitment to philanthropy.

“We are elated to announce that our 2023 goal for the 3rd annual CBF Live Count on Me Challenge, benefiting Cleaning for a Reason, is to raise over $120,000,” Sardone said. “We cannot reach this goal or continue our mission to serve even more patients without the generous contributions of our donors and sponsors or without the hard work of our cleaning company partners and fundraisers.”
