About LOS ANGELES BREAKFAST CLUB

Founded in 1925, the Los Angeles Breakfast Club is a long‑running, membership‑supported nonprofit social club based in Los Angeles that holds weekly breakfast meetings and presentations at Friendship Auditorium in Griffith Park. The Club describes itself as nonpolitical and nonsectarian and combines lighthearted traditions and music with educational guest speakers and community engagement.

The organization operates a philanthropic arm (The Los Angeles Breakfast Club Foundation) and uses its programming and events to raise funds, highlight local nonprofits, and support civic projects. In the last 2–3 years the Club has continued regular weekly programming, hosted high‑profile presenters, produced community events and markets, and celebrated its 100th anniversary with centennial programming and fundraising activity.
