2026 EVENT

Tickets: $50
Today more than ever, young boys and men, especially those from historically disadvantaged backgrounds are far more likely to face discrimination and high unemployment. The one and most promising tool to alleviate these ills is a joint community involvement in education.
Our fundraising event is a sponsored breakfast with proceeds going to support our scholarship fund. Therefore, we are continuing to work toward our goal of attracting 900 Men and Boys to come together and join an ongoing effort in making a difference through education.
