Breakfast Club, Breakfast Club PM and
Breakfast Club High School
Breakfast Club was founded by
Cheryl Garson and Debi Kortanek
in November, 2002. The duo had
determined that having coff ee
with girlfriends was therapeutic on
many levels and decided to make
the time even more productive by
adding community education and
aff ordable philanthropic compo-
nents. In 2014, Jamie Rindsberg
founded a spin-off of Breakfast
Club ­ Breakfast Club/PM (BC/PM),
which follows the same mission of
bringing women together for fun,
friendship and fundraising.

"There is a large population of
working women and stay-at-home
moms who like the idea of Break-
fast Club, but can't attend daytime
meetings because of their sched-
ules," Rindsberg told us. "That's
why BC/PM was created. We host
evening gatherings where women
can unwind, have a glass of wine,
learn about a local organization,
meet other like-minded people
and build relationships."
Each year, BC/PM selects fi ve
organizations to support with
philanthropic donations. This year's
organizations include: Women's
Wellness Foundation, Dress for Suc-
cess Cleveland, InMotion, Fostering
Hope and Young Scientist Foun-
dation, each of which submitted a
proposal specifi cally stating how
funds will be used.
In the spirit of spreading the
organization's reach, Breakfast
Club High School (BCHS), under
the direction of Macky Davis, Lily
Steiger, Gaby Rodriguez and Sami
Zawatsky, has also been created.
Members meets fi ve times per year
to provide opportunities to give
back to the community, receive
volunteer hours and catch up with
friends. BCHS members have made
Halloween bags for the Ronald
McDonald House, baby blankets
for Rainbow Babies and Children
Hospital, and bracelets and neck-
laces for pediatric patients at the
Cleveland Clinic.
Breakfast Club PM will host its
holiday gathering on Tuesday,
December 6, 7 pm, at InMotion,
4829 Galaxy Pkwy., Suite M, in
Warrensville Heights. The organi-
zation's executive director, Lacey
Roth, will speak about InMotion
and the value it brings to our com-
munity. Its spring event will take
place Wednesday, April 26, 7 pm, at
Kim Ponsky Photography at Eton.
Speakers will be Nicole Shefrin,
executive director of Fostering
Hope, and Analisa DiFeo, Ph.D., vice
president of student mentorship,
Young Scientist Foundation.
Membership for BC/PM starts
at $125 per year, with 100% of
proceeds divided evenly and do-
nated to the charities listed above.
Additional membership levels and
sponsorships are available. Events
are free to members.
"BC/PM events provide an easy
way to learn about what goes on
in our community," Rindsberg said.
"I've learned about great programs
that I never would have known
existed, such as how Hospice of
Western Reserve helped to fund
children's camp experiences to
those who had lost a parent."
