Every morning, kids across Onslow County start their day with a simple but powerful question: “Who believes in me?” The 11th Annual Breakfast at the Kids’ Table is one of those rare events that answers that question loudly—with a resounding “We do.”
Hosted by the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southeastern North Carolina, this breakfast brings together business leaders, community partners, and neighbors who care deeply about creating brighter futures for local children. Bartley Insurance Services is honored to support this event because we believe that when kids have a safe place to learn, grow, and dream, the entire community wins.
The Breakfast at the Kids’ Table is an annual fundraising event designed to showcase the impact of the Boys & Girls Clubs in Onslow County while raising critical financial support for the programs that serve young people every day.
Unlike a typical networking breakfast, this event invites adults to quite literally take a seat at the kids’ table. Guests get a firsthand look at what club members experience—hearing real stories, seeing real smiles, and understanding the real challenges many children face.
The event typically includes:
Breakfast at the Kids’ Table isn’t just about raising money; it’s about building understanding. When you hear what kids are up against—and how the Clubs stand in the gap—it becomes clear why this event matters so much.
Onslow County’s kids are growing up in a world full of both possibility and pressure. Many face issues like:
The Boys & Girls Clubs respond to these realities with structure, support, and hope. Breakfast at the Kids’ Table exists to ensure those supports don’t just survive—they grow.
Funds raised through this event help provide:
For many families, the Boys & Girls Clubs are not a “nice-to-have”—they’re essential. Events like the 11th Annual Breakfast make it possible for the Clubs to keep serving those who need them most.
When you support Breakfast at the Kids’ Table, you help turn generosity into tangible outcomes. Here’s how that impact shows up in children’s lives:
Many club members come in with reading or math levels below grade expectations. Through homework help, tutoring, and enrichment programs, kids receive individualized support that’s often unavailable elsewhere.
As a result, students are more likely to stay on track, stay in school, and start believing in their own academic potential.
The Clubs offer more than activities—they offer a sense of home. For many kids, this is the place where adults remember their names, ask how their day is going, and listen when they’re struggling.
This feeling of belonging is especially important for children dealing with stress, transitions, or family challenges.
From sports leagues to nutrition education, the Boys & Girls Clubs help kids build habits that last a lifetime.
By reinforcing healthy choices early, the Clubs give kids a foundation for a stronger future.
Leadership programs and teen initiatives help older youth prepare for life beyond high school.
These experiences help young people imagine futures they may not have seen otherwise—and give them the tools to pursue them.
At Bartley Insurance Services, we believe that strong communities are built from the inside out—and that starts with our kids. Supporting the 11th Annual Breakfast at the Kids’ Table is one way we live out that commitment.
