The city of Surprise is on the lookout for sponsors for the Surprise Area Interfaith and Golden Rule Community Breakfast in September.

This community gathering on Tuesday, Sept. 16 at the Dysart Schools District Office serves as a celebration of the Golden Rule, a principle of treating others as one would want to be treated.

“The gathering helps to promote the value of the Golden Rule in our daily lives, our organizations and throughout the Surprise community and region,” city officials wrote in a news release. “The celebration features uplifting stories from local leaders, highlights the power of collaboration and serves to strengthen our community through mutual respect.”

Sponsorship opportunities for tier ranging from $500 to $3,000 are available through Friday, Aug. 22.

The Arizona Interfaith Movement designated Surprise a “Golden Rule Community” in 2017. The city said these events foster collaboration and dialogue between city, faith, business and nonprofit leaders and are vital to strengthening our community, building resiliency and supporting all people.

This breakfast event includes the third annual presentation of the Surprise Veterans, Disability and Human Services Commission’s Community Legend Awards, which will honor winners in the categories of Individual Legend, Outstanding Youth, Volunteer of the Year and Organization of the Year.

This year’s breakfast will start with food at 8 a.m., followed by the program at 8:30 a.m., at 15802 N. Parkview Place.
