DuPagePads sponsors 'Wake Your Spirit' breakfast
Tickets are on sale for DuPagePads' 16th annual Wake Up Your Spirit Breakfast that will highlight, among other things, new developments and the agency's vision for the future.
This year's breakfast is from 7 to 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 4, at Abbington Distinctive Banquets, 3S002 Route 53, Glen Ellyn.
A Pads participant will share their journey with the audience and keynote speaker Marcus Engel will tell his story.
Engel, a professional speaker and author, was driving his car when he was struck by a drunken driver. When he awoke he was blind and faced seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
He'll share life lessons that have created a movement that inspires thousands every day.
"We are thrilled to have Marcus Engel as our keynote speaker. Marcus turned tragedy into triumph and will surely relate to our tagline: when someone believes in you, everything can change," says Carol Simler, DuPagePads president and CEO.
Tickets are $45 on or before Oct. 19 and $50 after that date. To purchase tickets or to learn more about the event, call (630) 682-3846, ext. 2290, or visit www.dupagepads.org.
Proceeds from the Wake Up Your Spirit Breakfast will provide support services to families and individuals who are homeless as they work toward a place to call home.
