July 5, 2011 - PRLog -- Saving Our Boys Summer Leadership Development Institute Launch

Philadelphia, PA - Saving Our Boys Campaign presents the Summer Reception Fundraiser to be held Wednesday, July 13, 2011 5:30pm-7:30pm at RAW Sushi & Sake Lounge, 1225 Sansom Street, Philadelphia, PA . Supporters of Saving Our Boys that will be in attendance include Wells Fargo, The Call Me Mister Teacher Leadership Development program, Cheyney University of Pennsylvania and Project GRAD USA.

The S.O.B. Campaign was developed to counteract the growing problems of increased dropout rates and decrease the prison to pipeline epidemic amongst black males by providing yearlong leadership/mentorship development institute that addresses key areas of performance; personal, academic and social.

The objective of the S.O.B. (Saving Our Boys) Summer Leadership Development Institute is to provide a week long residential experience, opportunity, access and support to young boys of color in the Philadelphia Metropolitan Community. The goal is to not only motivate young boys to be great but empower them to live in greatness as well-adjusted citizens, professionals and contributors to their community.

Join us for an evening of networking, while supporting and celebrating the future of one of Philadelphia’s most valuable treasures-young boys of color.

The S.O.B Campaign was created by leaders in the business, philanthropic and education community to uplift young boys, infuse culture and bring together communities in the City of Philadelphia.
