More Than a Morning Together
The Community Champions Breakfast, hosted by Ed Brady, Taylor Brady, and the Cranston Cares Executive Board, is dedicated to uniting community leaders, local businesses, families, supporters, educators, veteran advocates, and residents to recognize extraordinary service.
Through philanthropy, partnership, and shared purpose, this inaugural fall event celebrates the people who make Cranston and Rhode Island stronger — while raising critical funds to support the annual Veteran Turkey Drive at the Veterans Day Parade.
Together, we honor those who show up for our community. This is the beginning of an annual tradition of recognition, connection, and giving.
