Celebrating Impact | Breakfast of Champions

Together, we make a difference. Our recent Breakfast of Champions fundraiser honored notable individuals and organizations who have shaped our organization, and thanks to your support, we received $75,075 in pledged donations to continue our mission.


On Saturday, October 25th, the community came together at Busboys & Poets for our unforgettable Breakfast of Champions, and what a celebration it was! This annual event, our biggest gathering of the year, was a powerful reminder of the collective impact we can achieve. Thanks to your incredible support, we raised an astounding $75,075 in pledged donations to continue driving our mission forward in 2024.

A Morning of Gratitude and Inspiration

The event was a vibrant mix of delicious food, meaningful connections, and moving stories of impact. Attendees included changemakers, supporters, and community leaders who have been instrumental in amplifying our work.

We honored individuals and organizations who have gone above and beyond to support our mission. A special highlight was recognizing Erwin Kwawu, whose unwavering commitment has been a beacon of support for our organization. Through contributions of time, skills, and resources, Erwin and others have helped us expand programs like DMV Made and our Academy, making a tangible difference in the lives we serve.

A Collective Commitment

The morning wasn’t just about celebrating past successes but also about looking ahead. Attendees pledged their support for 2024 in various forms:

  • Offering free venue spaces for our events.

  • Volunteering to make our free community events possible.

  • Donating skills to strengthen our programs and administrative efforts.

These commitments ensure that Words Beats & Life can continue to grow, innovate, and serve our community in meaningful ways.
