Dear Family, Friends, and Supporters,

The 100 Black Men of Indianapolis, Inc. has selected me as one of the outstanding men to participate in the Thirty-Sixth Annual Beautillion Militaire Scholarship Program. The Beautillion Scholarship Event will be held on April 9, 2022. The Beautillion recognizes the achievements of African American males from Indianapolis area high schools. All participants attend weekly educational workshop sessions prior to the final event. Sessions cover topics from personal responsibility, finance, cultural issues, and respect for others, to community service, health issues, communication, and college expectations. The men of the 100 Black Men organization and other volunteers provide mentorship to assist Beaus with defining future goals.

Beautillion participants are also partially responsible for obtaining patron support for the Scholarship Fund. All net proceeds are directed toward scholarships and book awards which are distributed to the Beaus. Each beau receives either a scholarship or book award which can be used at the college or other institution of higher learning, of his choice.

I hope that we can count on your support. I welcome any contribution that you are able to make.
