PENCIL’s annual Back to School Breakfast Fundraiser raises support for our unique programs that promote student success by linking community resources to Nashville public schools. More than 560 business and community members hear from partners, teachers and students, as they share insight into their own experiences with PENCIL’s programs.

PENCIL’s 9th annual Back to School Breakfast took place at the Belmont Curb Event Center on Friday, August 21, 2026. We were delighted to present the E. Bronson Ingram award to Margaret Anne Byerly with Enterprise Solutions, for her long-standing commitment to partnering with Metro schools!
