Breakfast with the Stars brings children and their families to Tarrant Area Food Bank for a morning with imaginary and real childhood heroes and an opportunity to peek at our 70,000 square-foot warehouse.
Parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles are invited to enjoy this event with their children and relatives.
This spring fund-raiser supports the Food Bank's BackPacks for Kids program that provides food for school-aged children at high risk of hunger on the weekends.
The Stars at the Breakfast may include, among others, Spiderman, Cinderella, Tweety Bird, Jack the Pirate, real-life beauty queens, doctors, basketball players, firemen. Activities are usually provided by the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, Texas Christian University Early Childhood Music, Little Gym of Fort Worth, Van Grow Art Studio, Mad Science of Tarrant County, face painters, balloon artists and many, many more creative groups.
Breakfast fare is provided by our Community Kitchen, where low-income men and women train for careers in the culinary arts under the tutelage of a professional chef.
Tickets ($40 for adults, $20 for children under 12) may be purchased online or, by calling 817-332-9177, ext 132. Tickets will be mailed if they are purchased by midnight March 15. Tickets purchased later will be held at will-call.
Sponsorships for Breakfast with the Stars will help the BackPacks for Kids program provide kid-friendly food for the neediest children at 26 schools. On Friday afternoons, these children take home unmarked backpacks of food to supplement their meager meals on the weekends. See Sponsorship information.
