President's message

Everyone,

The 100 Black Men of Chicago, Inc. is committed to the growth and development of America's youth. Our commitment is reflected in onsite and weekend mentoring, education initiatives, health and wellness events, and economic development programs.

One of our flagship programs is our annual College Scholarship Fair. In 2003, the 100 Black Men of Chicago, Inc. hosted its first College Scholarship Fair achieving stunning success. Since, up to 200 colleges and universities have interacted with nearly 5,000 students and adults. To date thousands of students have been offered acceptance into a college or university, and over $10 million in scholarships have been offered.

Building on the previous successes, the 100 Black Men of Chicago, Inc, will host its 9th Annual College Scholarship Fair in October 2011 at the University of Illinois at Chicago. If you are a parent, guardian, guidance counselor, or simply concerned about supporting the education of our youth, mark you calendar for this incredible event. It has truly been life changing for many aspiring students.

With the support and contribution of parents, civic leaders, community partners, and corporate sponsors, we are striving to continue fulfilling our mission to enhance the lives of young people and their communities in the Chicagoland area.
