Breakfast at the Kids Table Raises over $25,000 for the Club
Over 160 people including members of the community, Board Members, Club staff and Club kids all attended the second annual Breakfast at the Kids Table on August 11th at the Cape Fear Country Club. This hosted table event is designed to educate the community on the Brigade Boys & Girls Club as well as celebrate the accomplishments of the Club members. Twenty-five Club members were hand selected to attend the event based on demonstrating positive qualities such as honesty, respect and good attitude and serve as a great representation of the Brigade Boys & Girls Club.
The event was hosted by two of our Teen Club members, Andre Fullwood and Nadine Brown, whom helped with emcee duties. Our 2009 Youth of the Year, Diana Bracht spoke to the crowd about her personal experiences growing up in the Club and how that influence has helped shape who she is today. A big thanks to Gary Chadwick, Board Member, who also shared a personal testimony about the influence the Club had on him as both a youth and an adult.
Thanks to the generous support of the community, the fund-raising event raised over $25,000!! A special thanks to US Cellular as a Platinum Sponsor for providing a $10,000 donation to the Club. We are thankful for your commitment to providing our kids a safe and fun environment.
A special thank you to DJ Professionals and Video who provided audio/visual services for the breakfast. Finally, thanks to our Board of Directors, Club staff and Club kids who helped make this breakfast a wonderful achievement!
