Rise and dine with student stories and scrumptious treats! It’s time for Books for Breakfast, our annual jam-packed breakfast fundraiser, benefitting 826 Boston’s free youth writing programs.
This year’s event will be held at 8:00 AM on Wednesday, May 7, 2025, at Goodwin Procter (100 Northern Avenue in the Seaport). Attendees will enjoy breakfast, stories from a 826 Boston student, and a chance to connect with members from the 826 Boston community.
This year, we’re thrilled to have the author Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, as our guest speaker!
