Waves, Inc. Announces 2026 Making Waves Breakfast Fundraiser

Celebrating 53 Years of Impact Across Middle Tennessee

FRANKLIN, TN — Waves, Inc. invites the community to its annual Making Waves Breakfast on Tuesday, March 24, 2026, from 7:30 to 9:00 a.m. at the Williamson County Enrichment Center at Academy Park. This one-hour breakfast fundraiser brings together community leaders, families, and advocates to celebrate impact, share powerful stories, and invest in a more inclusive future.

Guests will enjoy breakfast and a compelling program featuring firsthand stories from Waves families, offering an inside look at how early learning and adult services empower children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities throughout Middle Tennessee. Attendees will see how community support directly translates into opportunity, independence, and long-term growth.

Over the years, Waves, Inc. has experienced extraordinary growth—expanding both its reach and its impact. As the organization proudly marks its 53rd anniversary, Waves now supports more than 500 children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities across Middle Tennessee each year. What began as a small, mission-driven effort has grown into a cornerstone of inclusive support in the region—driven by the belief that access, dignity, and opportunity should never be limited by ability.

Doors open at 7:30 a.m., with the program beginning promptly at 8:00 a.m. Designed to be both meaningful and efficient, the morning offers a chance to connect with community leaders, reflect on progress, and imagine what’s possible when inclusion leads the way.

Those unable to attend in person can still be part of the impact. Donations in support of Waves’ mission may be made online at https://wavesinc.kindful.com. Waves, Inc. provides high-quality early learning and adult services at no cost to families, ensuring access to critical resources that promote learning, independence, and lifelong success. The Making Waves Breakfast is a key moment each year to celebrate progress— and to rally support for the work still ahead. Together, we can continue to create opportunity and make waves that truly matter.
