The 10th annual gala presented an opportunity for social champions to unite behind a common goal of empowering the youth of Prince George\u2019s County.<\/p>\n<p>The donations will be used to positively impact the lives of more than 300 boys and girls ages 8 to 18.<\/p>\n<p>Lamont T. Bunyon, chapter president and chairman, explained that the donations would go to tutoring, scholarships and program implementation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have about a half-dozen great programs: 100 Way Golf, 100 Way Tennis, Saturday Leadership Academy, Pathway to Success, and Real Talk,\u201d said Bunyon. \u201cWe use group mentoring to change these kids\u2019 lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As is with youth nationwide, Prince George\u2019s County has a robust population of underserved youth living in impoverished conditions. Approximately 13.7 percent of Prince George\u2019s County children live below the poverty line, according to a 2018 Maryland Poverty Profile published by Maryland Alliance for the Poor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrowing up in poverty is a threat to healthy child development, and increases the likelihood of poor academic, cognitive and health outcomes,\u201d according to the Annie E. Casey Foundation\u2019s KIDS COUNT Data Center.<\/p>\n<p>Understanding the social dysfunction, the 100 Black Men are proud to be \u201creal men, giving real-time.\u201d They are giving back, modeling for their youth what they can be despite their circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>One of 107 chapters nationally and internationally, the Prince George\u2019s chapter of 100 Black Men of America received its charter in December 2012.<\/p>\n<p>The men were originally denied permission to start a chapter, but after their initial rejection they chose to resubmit a revised plan to the national leadership 11 months later. Prince George\u2019s County\u2019s convening members presented their \u201cFour for the Future Pillars\u201d plan, which remains in effect a decade later.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThrough our four pillars, 100 Black Men exposes [men] to better health and wellness, better economic empowerment, better education, and better leadership. Sometimes their families don\u2019t have the equipment or the knowledge to empower our young people,\u201d said Bunyon. \u201cMentoring\u2014that\u2019s what we\u2019re about. We want to set the best example for young people. We train our members so that they can be examples. We want to expose the kids: what they see, they will be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One of the evening\u2019s highlights was leadership reclaiming Anthony B. Hill, a member who stepped away from the organization for several years. \u201cLife got in the way. I had to step down for a couple of years,\u201d explained Hill. \u201cBut now I\u2019m back full throttle, ready to work with the youth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Reginald Williams, the author of \u201cA Marginalized Voice: Devalued, Dismissed, Disenfranchised and Demonized,\u201d writes on Black men and Holistic Health concerns.
