Change Makers Breakfast - August 11, 2026
On April 11, 2026, a invitation-only group of 50 changemakers will gather at Eola View to celebrate the Parikh Giving Alliance’s latest grant recipients, awarding our summer cycle grants (Event Elevation, Cornerstone and Transformational Change) to Central Florida organizations driving meaningful, on-the-ground impact.
A favorite feature of the Change Makers Breakfast is our Power Chat panel, 3 inspirational local leaders each sharing "“The Moment I Knew This Was My Work.” Representing each of our giving pillars: Healthcare, Education, The Arts. We are honored to feature: Camara Gaither - City of Orlando Poet Laureate, Orange County Sherriff Department Youth Services- Sergeant Neil Clarke and Dr. Anjali Vyas, President, Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women & Babies.
