the man of the year award
Our man of the year award is a scholarship that was created in 2018 as an investment into the youth in our community. Its purpose is to support young men in their pursuit of education, professionalism, and entrepreneurship. Young men need mentorship, positive role models, and access resources to be successful.

tie day
We don’t believe that, wearing a tie, or wearing a suit for that matter is going to make anyone a better man. But wearing a tie is a part of professional attire, and we believe in equipping young men in our community with tools for success and life skills that will always be of use to them.
We go to local schools to not only teach young men how to tie ties, but teach them other life skills and provide motivation for success.

GRAND GENT’S ATHLETIC CLUB
The goal of the Athletic Club is to raise enough money to sponsor youth athletics and cover all team expenses to help alleviate parents of that financial burden. We will use this opportunity to mentor them about life outside of sports. Young men growing up in the Black community idolize professional athletes, and dream of making a career in pro sports. We will use that passion as a way to mentor them and show them that there are more ways to be successful in life. We want to use athletics as a tool to introduce boys into manhood, and show them what it means to be a gentleman, and encourage community fitness and health amongst young black men. The professional world is all about competition. This program will build character and teach young men how to be good competitors and authentic gentlemen. DONATE!
