What he did not lose is his spirit and fight to life He was out of Walter Reed hospital in 9 months and for someone who sustained injuries as he did that is unbelievable.

The funds raised at this year’s event will specifically contribute toward male mentoring sessions provided by My Brother’s Keeper, Inc.:
· One-on-One Mentoring Clients meet with one of our mentors. Problem areas are identified; causes of the problems discussed and plans jointly developed for the individuals to take control of their lives. The clients learn how to become accountable and responsible for their actions based upon a philosophy created by Harry Sydney titled “The IRS Code.” Integrity, Respect and Standards.
· Group Forum Sessions Group forum sessions for at-risk individuals are provided at area schools. They deal with issues affecting youth and help provide the life skills necessary to take control of their lives. Two types of group sessions are provided. The first deals with issues affecting young men and boys, avoidance of delinquent behavior, and the tools they need to make sound life choices. The second is an open forum and deals with the specific concerns and questions of the participants. The group sessions teach the youth to be accountable for their decisions, make those decisions ethically and honestly, effect on their course of action, and modify their behavior to improve their lives and the lives of those around them. The sessions let them know that they are not alone and help is available to help them work through their problems without resorting to delinquent/criminal behavior. An average of 24 students attends each session. Participants often are referred to follow up one-on-one mentoring sessions.
