CBF Live Celebrates Success Of 3rd Annual Gala Benefitting Cleaning For A Reason

CBF Live, an in-person training and networking event for residential cleaning business owners, has announced the conclusion of its 3rd Annual Gala in support of Cleaning for a Reason®. The Gala serves as a beacon of hope and solidarity for families facing cancer, providing them with professionally managed household cleaning services to prioritize their health and well-being during challenging times.

“Throughout cancer treatments, your immune system is compromised, and the fatigue can be overwhelming,” Stacey Schwinghammer, a cancer survivor now working for Cleaning for a Reason, said. “Having a clean home enabled me to prioritize rest, recovery, and time with my kids. The impact of a clean home extends beyond the physical; it profoundly affects patients emotionally.”

“The Gala, held in April and attended by over 250 cleaning company owners from around the world, underscored the commitment of Cleaning for a Reason founder and esteemed cleaning industry consultant, Debbie Sardone, to philanthropy. Her steadfast vision and dedication continue to inspire positive change within and beyond the industry,” according to a press release.

“We are thrilled to announce that our dedicated CBF members have raised over $81,691 this year in support of the nonprofit’s mission to provide clean homes for cancer patients,” Sardone said. “Looking ahead, we’re embarking on our next challenge to raise $100,000 in the coming year. Achieving this ambitious goal and expanding the reach of Cleaning for a Reason to even more cancer patients will depend on the generous contributions of donors, as well as the tireless efforts of cleaning companies in spreading awareness to their local communities.”
