Commercial Bank of California has established a Compassion Committee, a growing group of CBC employees with the shared purpose to do acts of support for causes close to the hearts of the staff and the entire organization to show compassion for the surrounding communities. Founded in early 2020, the group will participate in four events a year to help improve the quality of their communities, two in Los Angeles and two in Orange County.
Events for 2020 will begin with the February 2020 Susan G. Komen Walk in Los Angeles. The second 2020 event that the Compassion Committee will participate in is called Operations Gratitude in Orange County, where the group will be making care packages for the military. The next event will be the OC CHOC Walk in August, then ending the year with the 2020 Walk to End Alzheimer's in LA in November.
