34th Annual Business & Professional Breakfast
More than 200 people attended the Town of Palm Beach United Way’s 34th Annual Business and Professional Breakfast held Monday, October 27, 2025, at The Breakers Palm Beach. The community event marks the unofficial start of the United Way’s yearly fundraising campaign, which runs from July 1 through June 30.
The breakfast is also the signature event of the United Way’s Business and Professional Committee, a 26-member committee (roster here) that is responsible for securing corporate gifts and employee donations from businesses and professionals in Palm Beach.
Carrie Bradburn, owner of Capehart Photography, is chairwoman of the committee for the second consecutive year. The business committee fundraising goal is set at $525,000. The United Way’s overall campaign goal is $7,290,000.
