Annual Breakfast
The Annual Breakfast, which draws more than 500 key business and community leaders always promises to be a memorable morning that features a keynote speaker from the community.
The Annual Breakfast is the primary fundraiser of Heart to Heart Leadership, a 501(c)3 nonprofit, and is only possible through the support of organizations and individuals. This breakfast helps us to continue our work and allows us to maintain and increase our ability to offer affordable program fees so more community members can participate.
Quarterly Connections Breakfast
The Quarterly Connections Breakfasts are held three times a year. Individuals from all around Greater Akron attend to listen to a featured keynote speaker and enjoy breakfast while connecting with others from the area.
