The 2025 Breakfast of Champions is over but Fundraising is ongoing!
The Breakfast of Champions was October 10th, but there is still time to contribute to an exciting new Strength and Conditioning Space at Ingraham.
Any amount over the first $20K we raised at the Breakfast goes toward the new space which we are going to be able to start building out immediately thanks to the GENEROUS donations we've received so far. Ultimately, we’ll need to raise about $20k more to fully complete the project. However, equipment can be added over time, as funds are raised.
What is this space and why do we need it? Check out the video here!
What is the Breakfast of Champions?
- Our biggest fundraiser of the year where we raise money for Ingraham Athletic Booster Club's top priorities
- By refilling our special purpose account funds & working toward our long term goals like developing a new strength and conditioning space for all students
- A simple "continental breakfast" provided for ticket holders, coaches, and players representing their teams/clubs
- An event scheduled the morning of the October In-Service Day to help make it possible for parents and coaches to attend before their regular work day
- A chance to celebrate and support 30+ sports teams and clubs and all student athletes at Ingraham
- Note the weight room is open to all students whether they play a school sport or not
- Our goal is to make it welcoming and supportive space for all students interested in building their strength and confidence through lifting from body weight exercises to free weights to machines
