On Saturday, April 5th, the Boys & Girls Clubs of South Alabama hosted its 15th Annual Pancake Breakfast—a cherished tradition that continues to bring together families, friends, and community partners in support of our mission to build great futures for young people across Mobile.
This year’s event, held at the Harmon-Thomas Community Center, was more than just a delicious breakfast. It was a celebration of community spirit and a testament to what can be accomplished when people come together for a common cause. Guests enjoyed fresh, hot pancakes prepared by skilled volunteers, while taking part in a wide range of free activities including live entertainment, bounce houses, voter registration, and even complimentary haircuts. The festive, family-friendly atmosphere made the morning both memorable and meaningful.
We are incredibly grateful to William Burks, Director of the Kiwanis Branch, who led the planning and execution of this year’s event. His dedication and leadership ensured that every detail was thoughtfully managed, creating a welcoming and joyful experience for all who attended.
The success of the Pancake Breakfast would not have been possible without the generosity of our corporate sponsors and community supporters. We extend heartfelt thanks to the City of Mobile: Parks & Recreation, American Culinary Federation’s Metro Mobile Chefs & Cooks Association, Geers, IHOP, Publix, Walmart, Wings of Life, and many others who provided both financial support and in-kind donations. Your contributions helped ensure the event was not only a success but also a meaningful investment in the futures of the youth we serve.
As we reflect on another successful Pancake Breakfast, we are reminded that every plate served and every partnership formed brings us closer to our goal of empowering young people to reach their full potential. Thank you to everyone who joined us for this special event. Your continued support is helping us create a stronger, more vibrant community—one pancake at a time.
