Founded on June 24, 1989, the 100 Black Men of South Florida, Inc. (the “100”), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, is a group of men in business, industry, public affairs, government and the professions who share a common goal of improving the quality of life for African-Americans and other minorities through mentorship. The founding members of the 100 believed that they needed to take a leadership role in combating the plagues of illiteracy, professional stagnation, and political and economic disenfranchisement in our community. The 100 was formed to provide its members with a vehicle through which the requisite action could be taken to improve conditions within our community.

The 100 along with it Stakeholders are able to provide the following to the South Florida Community:

• Harold Guinyard Leadership Academy (DHGLA)-premier mentoring program through high school graduation.
• Positive Youth Development (PYD)– intensive mentoring program for middle school students.
• Collegiate 100-college auxiliary and mentoring program.
• Thanksgiving Food Drive-more than 10,000 individuals per year in south Florida receive meals through the program.
• Christmas Shopping Spree-provides Christmas Joy to more than 200 children per year.
• Summer Programs (High School Summer Nursing & Health Sciences Academy, Middle School Summer Law Program)- intensive summer programs which provide hands-on education and training.
• Law Enforcement & Emergency Services Career Fair-comprehensive career fair for tri-county law enforcement and emergency services agencies.
• Health & Wellness Initiatives– programs addressing serious health and wellness concerns.

We hope to build on these accomplishments in the coming year. The organization would not be able to operate successfully without support from friends like you.

As a Friend of the 100, your support will help us make a meaningful impact in the lives of African-American youth throughout the South Florida area.
