Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but many underprivileged kids have little choice but to start their day on an empty stomach.

South Australian not-for-profit organisation, KickStart for Kids’ annual ‘No Breakfast, Breakfast’ returns on Friday, December 8 at the Hilton Adelaide, serving guests nothing but food for thought.

The ‘No Breakfast, Breakfast’, this year emceed by SAFM’s Rebecca Morse, gives people the opportunity to start their day by voluntarily skipping breakfast to support thousands of hungry South Australian kids, a reality that many face every day.

KickStart for Kids is a South Australian not-for-profit organisation that provides a school breakfast program for underprivileged kids who often start their day on an empty stomach.

The program serves about 60,000 breakfasts per week in more than 360 South Australian schools.

KickStart for Kids founder, Ian Steel OAM, says the ‘No Breakfast, Breakfast’ is one of the organisation’s
signature annual fundraising events and plays a key role in the success of their programs throughout the year.

“We are calling on the Adelaide community, particularly those who spend their day in the CBD, to join us in support of this incredibly worthwhile cause,” he says.

Guests may choose to indulge in breakfast after the event or continue their day on an empty stomach and experience this effect on their mental and physical strength.

“Most people don’t realise how lucky they are to wake up every morning and thoughtlessly choose what they want for breakfast from a stocked fridge or pantry,” Ian says.

“The No Breakfast, Breakfast puts things into perspective and helps guests understand their privilege, ultimately giving them a new lease of gratitude to take away with them after raising funds for a cause that needs it.”

Tickets are $65 for a single ticket or $660 for a table of 10 with all proceeds going towards purchasing breakfasts for the KickStart for Kids Breakfast Program.
