100 Black Men of Omaha to Host 13th Annual Men of Honor Awards Dinner

100 Black Men of Omaha (100) (www.100blackmenomaha.org) will host its 13th Annual Men of Honor “Igniting Our Youth” Awards Dinner on Friday, April 20 at 5:30 p.m. at Hilton Omaha, 1001 Cass St. The Omaha community is invited to join members of 100 and Honorary Chair, Douglas County Treasurer John W. Ewing, Jr., in celebration of the organization’s 23rd year of mentoring. This event highlights the great work of the 100, raises needed dollars for their mentoring programs, and recognizes individuals who, through their service, demonstrate an exceptional commitment to the mission of the 100.

This year’s honorees include James Mason, Jr., founding treasurer of the 100 and retired Executive Director, Mark Evans, superintendent, Omaha Public School District, and the late Ty and Terri Schenzel, founders of Hope Center for Kids.

The 100 was established in 1995 when a group of concerned men joined together to be a vehicle for positive change in the Omaha community. Today, the 100 is one of many chapters internationally that make up the 100 Black Men of America, Inc., an alliance of leading African-American men of business, industry, public affairs and government. Since its inception, the 100 remains a visible and viable resource for the Omaha community and continues to do its part to improve the quality of life for all Omaha citizens.
