We invite you to be a part of recognizing and celebrating those exceptional leaders who go above and beyond to enhance our community.

Join us on Tuesday, February 11, 2025, from 8:30 AM to 10:30 AM at the Charlotte Harbor Event and Conference Center for the 2025 Community Champions Breakfast, hosted by the Gulf Coast Partnership and the Charlotte County Chamber of Commerce. This inspiring event will honor Charlotte County’s most dedicated community leaders who have gone above and beyond to enhance the lives of our most vulnerable residents.
