2nd Annual Parenting and Pancakes

Welcome to the 2nd Annual Parenting and Pancakes event!

Come for the pancakes, stay for the powerful conversations!

Parenting and Pancakes is more than just a breakfast—it’s a space for real conversations, community building, and practical tools to strengthen families. In today’s world, parenting means navigating tough topics like identity, inclusion, finances, and the digital world. This event will help you tackle them with confidence.

Join us for a morning filled with dynamic speakers, interactive workshops, and a special community awards ceremony honoring leaders making a real difference.

🥞 Hearty Breakfast Buffet – Gather, eat, and connect!
🎤 Conversations on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) – Understand how DEI shapes our children's futures and what it means for parenting today.
📱 Workshop on Social Media and Gaming Addiction – Learn how to manage the double-edged sword of digital life, balancing opportunity with awareness.
💰 Financial Literacy Session – Gain tips on building financial stability and securing a stronger future for your family.
🏆 Awards Ceremony – Celebrating Felicia Solebo (Inner City Challenge Chicago) and Sonja Bradley (Thornton Township District 205) for their outstanding service to youth and families.
💬 Table Talks & Networking – Share stories, strategies, and support with fellow parents.

Because parenting doesn’t come with a manual—but it does come with a community. Whether you're looking for new ideas, deeper understanding, or just a morning of empowerment, this event is for you.

Let’s build stronger families, stronger communities, and a stronger future—one conversation (and one pancake) at a time.
