Join us for our 2026 Impact Breakfast, presented by Comcast, as we explore the power of connection, belonging, and collective action in creating communities where everyone can thrive.
In a time of increasing challenges and growing disconnection, one thing is clear: our greatest strength is each other.
When people feel connected to their neighbors, supported by their communities, and empowered to contribute, communities become more resilient. Well-being grows. Opportunities expand. And together, we create the conditions for lasting change.
This year's Impact Breakfast will bring together community leaders, nonprofit partners, business professionals, educators, advocates, and changemakers to examine how social connection strengthens well-being and helps communities withstand challenges while building a stronger future for all.
Throughout the morning, we will celebrate local impact, recognize our 2026 ALICE Champions, and share stories that demonstrate what is possible when we work together on behalf of our neighbors.
