Author and nationally renowned philanthropist, Carrie Morgridge will be delivering the keynote address the morning of the Breakfast. Carrie is the Chief Disruptor of the Morgridge Family Foundation and founder of the Student Support Foundation - creating youth philanthropy clubs that teach students that small gifts, given properly, do matter. Carrie will share the inspiring story of her family's tradition of philanthropy and the unique vision and success behind her organization.

We are delighted to announce that we will be honoring Needham resident, Clair Windsor with our Young Philanthropist award. Clair has strong ties to MetroWest having been raised in Newton and now as a mother raising three young children with her husband Eric in Needham. Her spirit of volunteerism and philanthropic engagement in a wide-range of local charitable causes exemplifies what it means to be a young philanthropist.
This event is made possible by the generous support of our many corporate and individual sponsors.
