Breakfast for Champions

Wednesday, April 1, 2009

Every year, more than 100 million people volunteer their time, talent and energy to help others solve social problems and to build stronger communities. Volunteering is the way Americans choose to demonstrate their personal commitment to their neighbors in need.

Lehigh Valley 501c3 non-profit agencies are invited to attend the Breakfast for Champions and recognize their volunteers for the extraordinary work they have done to make a difference in the lives of others.
