Tickets & Nominations Now Open for the 2026 Breakfast & Awards
The Gulf Coast Partnership, Charlotte County Chamber of Commerce, and Charlotte County Economic Development are proud to announce that tickets are now on sale for the 2026 Community Champions Breakfast & Awards. This signature event will be held on Thursday, February 5, 2026, from 8:30 AM to 10:30 AM at The Event Center at Holy Trinity.
Each year, the Community Champions Breakfast shines a spotlight on employers and educational institutions that go above and beyond to expand access to meaningful opportunities for Charlotte County’s most vulnerable residents—including Veterans, at-risk and homeless youth, and families with extremely low incomes. These champions exemplify the power of partnership in strengthening our local workforce and building brighter futures for all.
Nominations are now open for employers and educational institutions making a remarkable impact in our community. To submit a nomination, please visit www.gulfcoastpartnership.org or vote here: https://forms.gle/VyNPH9fzVU3crXLm9.
