The Breakfast at the Ballpark Series brings scholarship recipients, sponsors, their families and community leaders together to celebrate the remarkable achievements of Pinellas County students and cheer them on as they embark on the next chapter of their journey.
Each March during spring training, CFY gathers to celebrate an extraordinary group of students, the recipients of one of our Postsecondary Scholarships, and the dreams they are working so hard to achieve. Joined by the generous sponsors who have invested in their futures, students come together for a special meet-and-greet and award breakfast filled with encouragement, connection, and celebration.
Held at the iconic BayCare Ballpark in Clearwater, the Spring Training home of the Philadelphia Phillies and home of the Clearwater Threshers, this one-of-a-kind ballpark breakfast is more than an event, it is a celebration of possibility. Surrounded by the people who believe in them, students are reminded that their hard work matters, their dreams are within reach, and they do not have to walk their journey alone.
The Breakfast at the Ballpark Series honors not only the accomplishments of these remarkable students, but also the generosity of the sponsors who help open doors, create opportunities, and empower the next generation to pursue their dreams and build a brighter future for themselves and their community.

Breakfast with the Blue Jays
During the month of March each year, CFY comes together to celebrate the achievements of some of our Postsecondary Scholarship recipients with a special morning awards breakfast alongside their generous sponsors who make their educational journeys possible.
Held at the Spring Training home of the Toronto Blue Jays and year-round home of the Dunedin Blue Jays, TD Ballpark in Downtown Dunedin, this inspiring gathering is a meaningful celebration of perseverance, achievement, and opportunity. It brings students and sponsors together to share in a moment of pride, build lasting connections, and recognize the incredible impact that investing in a student’s future can have.
The Breakfast at the Ballpark Series celebrates not only this milestone of these incredible students, but also the generosity of the individuals and organizations who believe in their potential, open doors to new possibilities, and help empower them to pursue their dreams.

On March 3, 2027, CFY will celebrate the awarding of a transformative Postsecondary Scholarship to deserving Pinellas County students with a special interaction and awards breakfast alongside the generous sponsors who made this opportunity possible.
Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, home of the Tampa Bay Rays, is the site for this inspiring gathering celebrating more than a scholarship as it celebrates the promise of a student’s future. Surrounded by sponsors, community leaders, family, and supporters who believe in their potential, the student will be recognized for their hard work, perseverance, and achievements as they take an important step toward their next chapter.
The Breakfast at the Ballpark honors student achievement while celebrating the generosity and commitment of the Pinellas County community. Together, we are opening doors, creating opportunities, and investing in the dreams of the next generation, helping deserving students turn their aspirations into a brighter future.

INVESTING IN STUDENT SUCCESS
Helping Students Take Their Next Step
Each scholarship represents far more than financial assistance. It is an investment in a local student’s dreams, providing greater access to education, training, and the opportunities they need to reach their full potential and build a successful future.
The Breakfast at the Ballpark Series brings these remarkable students together with the sponsors who believe in them and the community leaders who champion their success. Through meaningful connections and shared celebration, the series highlights the powerful impact that can happen when a community comes together to invest in its students.
Together, we are not simply awarding scholarships, we are opening doors, inspiring possibilities, and helping the next generation of Pinellas County leaders turn their dreams into reality.
