Hosting our second annual Breakfast of Champions event at Boundary Bay Brewery was a smashing success. Our 80 guests were served a delicious breakfast buffet, mimosas and coffee by our Board of Directors. The event was a benefit for our new Parkscriptions program, where we are partnering with health practitioners to get more people outdoors to enjoy the increased physical, mental, emotional and community health benefits of time spent in nature.
Thank you to our supporters for offering raffle prizes: Fit School, Whatcom YMCA, Krissy Moehl, Chuckanut 50K, PRiME Sports Massage, Flora, Community Boating Center, Bellingham Athletic Club, Nuu Muu, Patagonia, Square One Maps, American Alpine Institute, Trailhead Athletics, and Gear Aid.

April kicked it off by sharing the work that we have accomplished in a short period of time.
Doctors from Family Care Network were there to share their experience since June 2017. Pictured below are Dr. Greg Anderson, Dr. Laura Fox and Dr. Sara Bowling, who launched our pilot program, stand in front of our photo booth.
Hear what the Family Care Network doctors had to say during the address to the Breakfast attendees:
The Chuckanut Health Foundation announced their support for this program, offering a $10,000 match for our end of the year fundraising campaign. Dr David Lynch addressed the crowd and shared the great news.
Everyone enjoyed a hearty breakfast from Boundary Bay Brewery and were served by our Directors throughout the morning.
