Your $25 isn't just buying breakfast. It's helping create connection and support for people who may be walking through one of the hardest experiences of their lives.
Don't Miss the Tricky Tray!
Not familiar with a Tricky Tray? It's easy—and fun!
Throughout the morning, you'll find donated prizes displayed around the room. Each prize will have a bag in front of it. If you'd like a chance to win that prize, place your ticket(s) in the bag.
🎟️ Tickets are sold in sheets of 10 for $10 and will be available for purchase at the event.
Want a better chance of winning? You can put multiple tickets into the bag for the prize you want. The more tickets you put in, the better your chances of having your ticket drawn!
At the end of the event, we'll draw one winning ticket for each prize.
You do not have to be present to win. If your ticket is drawn and you're not there, we'll contact you—but you'll need to return to the event location to pick up your prize.
Come for the cause. Have some fun. Maybe take home a prize!

Why Break the Silence Exists
Break the Silence began in 2018 from a deeply personal place.
After experiencing the loss of a loved one to suicide, the need to do something- something that could turn unimaginable grief into hope, connection, and support- became the beginning of Break the Silence.
What started as a personal effort to honor a life and change the legacy of suicide has grown into a community movement. Over the years, people who have experienced suicide loss, along with friends, families, and community supporters, have come together to create something none of us could build alone.
Today, Break the Silence is a nonprofit dedicated to reminding survivors that they do not have to walk through this journey alone. We work to connect people with resources, create opportunities for healing and connection, support mental health and grief services, provide scholarships, and open the door for conversations that are often difficult to have.
What began with one person's loss has become a community choosing hope.
And that is why we gather.
To remember. To support. To connect. To heal. And to Break the Silence. 🌻
