WHAT IS PANCAKES WITH PURPOSE
It is a Social Experiment by 9 year old businessman and philanthropist Chase Hansen [ Draper, Utah ] teaming up with a prospective Eagle Scout, Kodiak Cakes, and The Junction Grill, to engineer a healthy brunch with a mission to facilitate positive connection in the community. Start your Sunday off right with protein packed, whole grain Kodiak Cakes with loads of healthy, fresh fruit toppings and positive people.
WHY
Meaningful connections are made through positive experiences where we practice empathy and develop trust as neighbors. We heal from our struggles through simply spending time with one another and finding out what we have in common.
HOW
Break Bread. Food brings us together to make new friends or to spend time with those we love. Minister and uplift others simply by sharing quality time over a meal and a friendly conversation.
WHO
