Kimberly Breeden built a career on working for some of the best non-profit brands in the business. Breeden learned early in her career that her passion was working with children facing adversity.
In 1990, she embarked on a career with Boys and Girls Clubs. She went on to become an Executive Director for The Boys and Girls Clubs of Greensboro, NC. She continued to promote Leadership and mentoring. During her years with Boys and Girls Clubs she received numerous awards for programs designed for children ages 6-18 and staff leadership programs.
In 2002, Breeden continued to fulfill her passion working with at-risk children and accepted the role as Executive Director for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Durham and Orange Counties. The Agency was serving 38 children when she started. In 2005, two Big Brothers Big Sister organizations merged to form Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Triangle and named Breeden as the CEO. In 2008, Breeden was named CEO of the Year for Big Brothers Big Sisters of America. Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Triangle won many awards under Breeden’s leadership including Big Brothers Big Sisters of America’s prestigious awards: Gold Standard Award and Board of the Year. Breeden retired from BBBS of the Triangle in October 2017 and was recognized for leading the organization for 15 years. BBBS of the Triangle served over 12,000 children during her tenure.
In 2017, Breeden accepted a role working for a Foundation and has the honor of awarding grants to non-profits in Eastern, NC. She remains an advocate for children and their families. In November 2017, Breeden founded Simply Girls Inc. which is in Dunn, NC. There are so many things Breeden is proud of but Simply Girls Inc. is one her greatest accomplishments.
