Kern County Tobacco Use Prevention Education
Funded by Prop. 99 Tobacco Tax - Tobacco Use Prevention Education Tier II Grant
The Kern County Tobacco Use Prevention Education (TUPE)

The American Cancer Society–Bakersfield Office, American Lung Association of California, Friday Night Live, Kern County Public Health Services Department and Tobacco Free Coalition of Kern, all play a major role in creating community-wide anti-tobacco activities and workshops that focus on the dangers of tobacco use and how tobacco companies manipulate young people into using tobacco. We are proud to have The California Youth Advocacy Network (CYAN), who is dedicated to support youth to advocate for a tobacco-free California. See the CYAN website at http://www.cyanonline.org/.

YOUTH CONFER ENCE 2015
OPENING & KEYNOTE SPEAKERCEDRIC CRAWFORDCommonly referred to as “Mr. BreadCrumb,” Cedric Crawford is no stranger to overcoming adversity. In fact, he’s an Adversity and Change Specialist as well as an Author, Motivational Speaker, Entrepreneur, Personal Development/Success Coach/Mentor, Husband & Father of Four. Many around the world have adopted his formulas and philosophies and have used them to succeed in multiple areas of traditional business and the business of life.
Cedric’s mission is to leverage his real life stories and experiences to show others how to overcome adversity and fear to reach their full potential and become the leader that others want to enthusiastically follow. He’s committed to continue in his efforts to make “In the Box” thinking taboo and to expose the masses to the amazing possibility that’s already inside of them. Also his mission is to Inspire, Motivate, Empower and Educate others and encourage them to live a life pushing and reaching for “GREAT” instead of “Average.” To also pursue creating a life of significance and a Legacy that models service to others.
Cedric’s primary goal is to ultimately let his best message be the one that he delivers with the life that he lives. “There’s nothing special about me, but there’s plenty special about the ‘Process’ that’s gotten me from ‘A’ to where I want to ‘B’ in life and you can too with the right tools and techniques.” He says. “Let me show you how...”
Cedric’s Personal Motto: “IT” may not be easy, but “IT’s” POSSIBLE...
