The 24th Annual YMCA of South Palm Beach County Inspiration Breakfast, presented by JM Family Enterprises, will be held on February 25, 2026 outdoors at the Peter Blum Family YMCA in Boca. This year, we are honored to welcome the inspiring man whose true story is featured in the 2025 film Soul on Fire, a two-time bestselling author of On Fire, and courageous burn survivor, John O’Leary.

John will share his remarkable journey from near tragedy to triumph, offering a powerful reminder of the resilience and strength within us all.

Chaired by Linda Gunn Paton, this event brings over 600 community leaders, businesses and YMCA supporters together for a time of encouragement and motivation. Event proceeds support YMCA Financial Assistance for local families, youth and seniors.
