atmosphere are hotdogs and hamburgers (provided by local
businesses) grilled on site by members of the organization.

Golf Outing
An annual event
for members and other golfers. This is one of the
major fundraising efforts for the organization.
Corporations are encouraged to sponsor golf holes and send a
foursome from the company to participate. Individuals
can also participate and be paired with partners on the day
of the event. The annual Golf Outing provides a
healthy, athletic environment for fellowship, fun, and
exposure to positive ethnicity. |
Mentoring Program
The
purpose of our Mentoring/Tutor Program is to promote
academic achievement and success. To accomplish this
goal, we work toward sustaining an ongoing relationship
between young and adult males, striving toward improved
academic performance, as well as providing and engaging
youth in positive activities with responsible adult males.
Our aim is to provide learning experiences that promote
education, reduce or eliminate contact with the juvenile
justice system, and prepare young men to accept leadership
responsibilities within their families and community.
This program is conducted in collaboration with the Madison
Metropolitan School District and Big Brothers-Big Sisters of
Dane County. |
