This was the 12th Annual Event of elegance honoring the men, women, and sponsors supporting young African-American and minority men. The gala was held Friday, December 2, 2011. Through mentoring, educational, economic, and health awareness opportunities, the volunteers gave their personal time to show ways of making a positive contribution to the world we live in. This concept started in 1963 in New York when a concerned group of Black men met to look at ways of improving conditions in the community. Now the program has expanded throughout the United States with the same mission. It was a classy black tie event with some of our movers and shakers in attendance, as well as, many of them being members. It was a marvelous affair. 13 Scholarships were awarded this year! These men sacrificed their time to help our youth when they are needed most.
