Champions walk among us every day. They are of all ages, genders, races, and backgrounds. They are humble. They are silent. They are selfless. Most of us aren’t even aware of their greatness. We’re changing this – starting today!  

 

Join us on Sunday, May 22, 2022, for our second annual Breakfast of Champions - a brunch affair from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM at Gatsby on the Ocean Wantagh, New York looking over Jones Beach. 

​
