Over the past four months, BGCCF hosted five important Faces of the Future Fundraising Breakfasts that benefitted our Brevard Clubs, Joe R. Lee Branch in Eatonville, Clubs in Osceola and Seminole Counties and all Clubs at the regional level. Our Faces of the Future Fundraising Breakfasts not only give local community professionals the chance to meet and mingle, but also provide a glimpse into the work being done to supply underserved youth in Central Florida with the tools they need to thrive.

This series of breakfasts aims to raise funds for our youth development initiatives, increase community awareness of our organization and forge new relationships with key community partners. Because these experiences are based in a Club, BGCCF directly connects donors with the children and mission of BGCCF through face-to-face interactions with our Club and Staff members.

Thank you to everyone who took time out of their busy schedules to attend one of our Faces of the Future Breakfasts, as well as to those who decided to generously give during each event. This year, we surpassed all expectations and cumulatively raised more than $860,000 in cash and pledges that will directly impact the children we serve through enhanced programming at our Clubs. Thanks to your generosity, BGCCF will continue to provide hope and opportunity for our Club members who are the faces of our community’s future.

We are also grateful to our sponsor, Publix Super Markets Charities, our friends in law enforcement throughout Central Florida, community leaders and each of our event chairs and committees for their partnership during this fundraising season and year-round. We truly appreciate you and your personal and professional contributions to our events; we would not be able to achieve the same level of success without your time and considerable support.
