Event Details:

• Time: 7:30 AM – 9:00 AM
• Location: 1601 W. Drake, Fort Collins
• Purpose: Unite the business community to support families experiencing homelessness
A Morning That Matters
“Breakfast of Champions represents more than a networking opportunity – it’s a rallying point for our business community to come together and tackle one of our region’s most pressing challenges,” said Annette Zacharias, Executive Director at Family Housing Network. “We’re asking Fort Collins businesses to rise up and become champions for families who need safe shelter and a pathway to permanent housing.”
The event will feature breakfast, inspiring updates about Family Housing Network’s impact in Larimer County, and exciting announcements about the organization’s future direction. Attendees will learn how their support directly translates into emergency shelter beds, comprehensive day center services, and case management that helps families transition from crisis to stability.
Critical Community Need
Every night, families in Larimer County face housing instability and homelessness. Family Housing Network’s overnight shelter, day center services, and bridge housing provide the critical bridge from crisis to permanent housing, serving families with children who have nowhere else to turn.
“This isn’t just about one morning – it’s about building sustainable community partnerships that create lasting solutions for families in crisis,” added Annette. “When our business community rises up together, we can transform lives and strengthen our entire community.”
Sponsorship and Attendance Opportunities
The Fort Collins Chamber of Commerce encourages member businesses to participate through various sponsorship levels or individual attendance. Sponsorship opportunities include prominent recognition across all event materials, social media campaigns, and community visibility as partners in addressing family homelessness.
Ms. Zacharias believes that Family Housing Network’s work aligns perfectly with our Fort Collins business community’s values of supporting strong, stable families, and we are encouraging our fellow chamber members to consider how they can be champions for this vital cause.
