he Kern County Tobacco Use
Prevention Education (TUPE)
program’s mission is to develop
Kern County Tobacco Use Prevention Education
California’s next generation of
tobacco-free advocates by engaging
youth to envision and create a California
smoke-free environment. 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/.

CEDRIC CRAWFORD
Commonly 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.
Celebrating
Years of Success!
CelebratingTwelve
Sixteen
Years of Success!
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...
