Business for a Cause
2026-04-04 08:00 - 09:30 | Coffee That Matters by Phoenix Roasters, 2640 Old Peachtree Road NW, Duluth, GA, 30097, United States
Last month, more than 30 businesses came together for the inaugural launch of Business for a Cause, a powerful reminder of what’s possible when business leadership chooses purpose alongside productivity.
Start your Saturday morning with intention, create meaningful connections, and be a part of something bigger than business.
Featuring: Spectrum Autism Support Center
Join us on Saturday, April 4th, from 8:00 AM – 9:30 AM for a morning designed to inspire conversation, spark collaboration, and elevate impact.
As leaders in the business community, our reach extends far beyond the open hand of a nonprofit. Through innovation, operational strategy, skills, services, and technology, we can amplify their voice, strengthen their mission, and expand their impact across Georgia and beyond. Because what many nonprofits lack is not passion – it’s platform. Business for a Cause exists to close that gap.
Gather your family and friends, then come ready to:
• Connect with like-minded colleagues in a “come as you are” casual dress environment
• Discover a nonprofit organization making a real difference
• Start your day energized – with both inspiration and a great cup of coffee
This is more than an event. It’s a movement toward intentional leadership and community impact.

Where do they go — and who continues walking alongside them?
Join us on Tuesday, March 24th at 6pm for a meaningful and welcoming Women’s Giving Circle gathering at Bridgewater Apartments. Where you’ll see firsthand how partnerships help families move from transitional housing into stable, affordable homes.
This evening will introduce you to our growing collaboration with Single Parent Alliance & Resource Center (SPARC), whose new Community Resource space at Bridgewater serves as a hub for afterschool programs, financial education, and ongoing support for families.

Most of all, you’ll experience what’s possible when women come together around shared purpose and strong community partnerships.
Enjoy light refreshments, meaningful conversation, and a behind-the-scenes look at how housing, support, and opportunity come together — long after graduation.
