Breakfast Of Champions '24: Annual Fundraising Breakfast for Hip-Hop

The Breakfast of Champions is an annual celebration of donors and most impactful in-kind donors to Words Beats & Life.

This year’s breakfast will take place at Busboys and Poets located at 14th and V St NW from 8:15am-9:15am. The Breakfast of Champions is hosted by our amazing WBL Staff.
