Ambassadors' Cargivers Breakfast
Everyone from lawmakers to celebrities and C-suite executives understands the value of our country’s 53 million caregivers, and we must also “seize the moment” to affect meaningful, systematic change. The Military Children 2025 World Expo Salutes "Military Children (Brats) Caregivers, and Non-Military Caregivers."
“There are only four kinds of people in the world––those who have been caregivers, those who are currently caregivers, those who will be caregivers, and those who will need caregivers.”
- Rosalynn Carter

The Caregivers
Caregiving will likely affect all of us at some point in our lives, many caregivers do not identify as a caregiver.
Too often we hear caregivers describe themselves as “just” a daughter, husband, friend, or neighbor. If you provide support such as errands and grocery shopping, wound care and prescription management, or cooking, cleaning, and personal care at home – you are a caregiver, and you deserve to be seen and supported.

The Ambassador Breakfast
The Military Children 2025 World Expo Ambassadors' Caregivers Breakfast is a special event dedicated to honoring the 53 million caregivers in our country. Taking place on Saturday, April 26, 2025, from 8-10 am at the Army Navy Country Club in Arlington, VA. This breakfast serves as a tribute to the invaluable contributions of caregivers.
Caregivers play a vital role in our society, providing care and support to those in need. From lawmakers to celebrities and C-suite executives, everyone recognizes the importance of these dedicated individuals. The event aims to bring together people from all walks of life who have either been caregivers in the past, are currently caregivers, will be caregivers in the future, or will eventually require the assistance of caregivers.
By hosting this breakfast, we seek to raise awareness about the significant impact caregivers have on our communities. It is an opportunity to express our gratitude and appreciation for their selfless dedication.
The Invisible Frontline
Caregivers serve as the invisible frontline of our nation’s healthcare system– providing compassionate care to tens of millions of people each year – and yet systems to support them are fragmented, inaccessible, and oftentimes nonexistent. It doesn’t have to be that way. We can change it, together.
