Fry Family YMCA to Host Interfaith Community Breakfast Celebrating Unity, Reflection, and Shared Purpose

NAPERVILLE, IL (November 24, 2025) — The Fry Family YMCA invites community members, civic leaders, and faith partners to attend the annual Naperville Mayor’s Interfaith Community Breakfast, a morning dedicated to reflection, connection, and collective hope. 

Hosted by the Fry Family YMCA, this longstanding community tradition unites neighbors from all walks of life to celebrate the city’s vibrant diversity through inspiring speakers, shared values, and a warm breakfast. Proceeds from the event will support local programs that strengthen community well-being. 

This year’s keynote speaker is Trisha Prabhu, global advocate, innovator, and founder of ReThink™, a technology and movement working to end online hate. Prabhu will share insights on compassion, resilience, and what it means to build a more inclusive, empathetic world at a time when unity is more important than ever. 

“This breakfast reminds us of what makes Naperville such a special place, the belief that when we come together across faiths, backgrounds, and experiences, we make our community stronger, kinder, and more connected,” said Erika Wood, Executive Director of the Fry Family YMCA. “We’re honored to host this gathering each year and to help create a space where understanding, belonging, and shared purpose can truly flourish.” 

Special thanks to Friedrich-Jones Funeral Homes for serving as presenting sponsor for the breakfast.
