St. Mary's Early Childhood Center Speaker Breakfast

Join Us for Breakfast with Indianapolis Colts Quarterback Riley Leonard!

Start your morning with meaningful connections and networking beginning at 7:45 AM, along with a hosted coffee bar to enjoy with colleagues. At 8:30 AM, guests will enjoy a plated breakfast while learning more about St. Mary’s Early Childhood and the children they serve.

Known for his leadership, resilience, and competitive spirit, Riley Leonard made his mark at Duke University before continuing his collegiate career at the University of Notre Dame. He has since taken the next step in his professional journey with the Indianapolis Colts. His story of perseverance, growth, and faith promises to inspire and resonate with guests.

This year, your support matters more than ever.

As you may be aware, all CCDF (Child Care and Development Fund) assistance for families has been cut through January 2027. As of fall 2025, more than 30,000 children across Indiana are on the statewide wait list — and deep program cuts implemented last October have made the situation even more dire. The affected families are low-income working parents who depend on childcare assistance to stay employed and financially stable. Without this support, many are forced to reduce work hours, exit the workforce entirely, or seek unsafe care alternatives.

St. Mary's had projected $1.2 million in CCDF funding this fiscal year. They now face a $964,281 shortfall.

Sponsoring a table — or any level of sponsorship — at this year's breakfast is a direct investment in the children and families they serve. 

We hope you'll consider joining us. Thank you for your continued generosity and commitment to our community.
