Concerned Black Men of Richmond Spring 2023 Activity Summary Update

October 9, 2023

 

Greetings all!

The Concerned Black Men of Richmond would like to update you with a Spring ’23 activity summary. 

In March, we held an “Effective Communication & Public Speaking” activity.  It took place at Franklin Military Academy on the 18^th 

On April 15^th we took a trip to The Science Museum of Virginia.  This activity was used as a recruitment tool to grow our youth corp. We also held our Etiquette activity on April 29^th at Franklin Military Academy. 

In May CBM visited Ristorante LaGrotta to show off what they learned in the Etiquette activity. Former Governor L. Douglas Wilder met us at LaGrotta and gave an inspirational question and answer session with our mentees!

 

The Concerned Black Men of Richmond wrapped up the Spring 23’ session with an Awards Cook-In at Franklin Military Academy.  We acknowledged the many accomplishments of the mentees and provided them with a cash gift for their participation.

The Concerned Black Men of Richmond are working diligently to provide impactful activities for the youth in our community.

We have some exciting activities planned for the 23/ 24 session!

Thanks to each of the mentors and each of you for your interest and assistance in providing quality programs for the young men in our community. It means the world to our community and the youth we serve.

Sincerely,
Timothy Mallory,
President CBM-RVA

Concerned Black Men of Richmond holds End of Year Cookout for Youth at Robinson’s Park

August 16, 2019

Greetings all!

The Concerned Black Men of Richmond concluded our 2018/19 session with an end of year cookout.  The activity was held on June 15^th at Robinson’s Park in eastern Henrico.  There were numerous parents, donors, former and current mentees in attendance.  The boys always enjoy the opportunity to show off their athletic prowess on the basketball court and playground.

 

They have really bonded well with each other by the end of the session get along great!

We started the event by giving a summary of the activities that the Concerned Black Men provided this session. 

 

Next we highlighted the mentees achievements academically as well as extracurricular participation throughout the school year.

The mentees have really represented themselves well this year and were presented with a little cash from us as encouragement to continue to pursue excellence in all their endeavors.

The food was catered by Buzz & Ned’s Real Barbeque and was enjoyed by all.   

Allyson Dyche was there putting together a piece to be aired on NPR radio in the near future. We will keep you all posted as to the air date and time.

It is always good to get together with the parents to get their feedback on how the Concerned Black Men of RVA are impacting the mentees and to thank them for the opportunity to serve their loved ones.

The Concerned Black Men of RVA would like to thank each of you also for your interest and patronage of our organization.  You were instrumental in achieving our goals for the 2018-19 session.     We hope that you continue to support our efforts in the upcoming session and let others know about the great things that the Concerned Black Men of RVA are doing!

Sincerely,
Tim Mallory,
President CBM-RVA

Concerned Black Men of Richmond holds End of Year Cookout for Youth at Dorey Park

July 16, 2018

 

Greetings all,

Last month the Concerned Black Men of Richmond concluded our 2017-18 year with a cookout at Dorey Park.  The food and fellowship with parents, mentees, donors and brothers was enjoyed by all.  There is 1 graduate this year in the youth corps, Da’Vontae Ballou.   He has been a member since the 5^th grade and graduated from Armstrong High School.  Da’Vontae will be attending J Sargent Reynolds Community College in the fall.

There were 2 of last year’s graduates in attendance, Torian Jones and Ramone Jeffers.  They shared their college experiences and it was great to see them achieving their goals!

 

We would like to take an opportunity to thank each of you for the interest and support you have shown our organization.  This year we even got our van painted and it looks great!

Your support is instrumental in ensuring that we can continue to provide lessons and experiences that positively impact the young men we serve.  Please feel free to make suggestions on how we can improve our organization.

Again, thank you all for your assistance.

Sincerely,
Tim Mallory, President CBM-RVA
