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 participates in the 12th Annual Unity Ride For Sickle Cell

May 18, 2021

Greetings!

On Saturday May 1, 2021, the Concerned Black Men of Richmond assisted The Ladies of Elegance, Inc. with the 12^th Annual Unity Ride For Sickle Cell.  It was a great opportunity for us to get back out into the community.

More than 4000 people in Virginia suffer from Sickle Cell Disease.  Of this total, nearly 900 of them are in the Richmond service area.  Approximately 155,000 have the Sickle Cell Trait and almost 4000 are in our service area.  The purpose of the ride is to raise funds for the MCV Foundation & Florence Neal Cooper Professorship.

There were hundreds of motorcycles of all types, 2 wheeled, 3 wheeled, sidecars and trailers!  The riders were women and men of all ages.

We met at the Steel Horse Harley Davidson Motorcycle Shop where we assisted with set up and registration of the participants.  After acknowledgements and prayer, the riders headed to Pop’s Bar and Grill for refreshments.

Thanks to each of you for your support of the Concerned Black Men of RVA!  We are looking forward to continuing our work in the community as the concern over the pandemic subsides.  We are looking forward to working with our youth in person in the near future.

Be safe!

Sincerely,
Tim Mallory,
President CBM-RVA

Concerned Black Men of Richmond and Youth Visits Black History Museum & Culture Center

March 9, 2020

Greetings,

The Concerned Black Men of Richmond recognized “Black History Month” by visiting the Black History Museum & Cultural Center of Virginia.  We toured the museum on Saturday February 22^th.

There were 2 floors filled with examples of black men, women and children from Virginia that changed our country as well as the world. The visit began with a history of the museum by Adele Johnson, the Executive Director of the BHMVA.  She is very passionate and knowledgeable about each exhibit and gave a brief overview of each one at the center.

 

 

Everyone came away from this visit with a renewed understanding and knowledge of our unique place in the formation of our state and country. 

The Concerned Black Men of Richmond strive each month to stimulate the imaginations and aspirations of our youth through activities such as this.  Thanks to caring people in the community and beyond such as yourselves, we continue to show our mentees that their possibilities truly are limitless. Again, thank you for your support.  It means the world to the Concerned Black Men of Richmond and the youth we serve.

 

Sincerely,
Tim Mallory,
President CBM-RVA
