100BMCO: Making a Difference

During this past year, all of us were blessed to witness history, as America began its journey to “Become as Good as its Promise.” America came together to elect Senator Barack Obama as the first African American to become the President of the United States of America.  A common theme from President Obama has been the need for each American to rededicate themselves to the ideals of America, to make the necessary sacrifices and commitments that make America great, and to commit themselves to community service.  The members of 100 Black Men have been and will continue to do in support of President Obama’s vision for America and in support of the needs of their respective communities.

The 100 Black Men of America, Inc. (the “100”) is a national organization devoted to improving the quality of life of our communities, and enhancing educational and economic opportunities for all African Americans. The 100 accomplishes this mission through the execution of its programs, which are grouped into four programmatic categories known as "Four for the Future."  These programmatic categories are:

• Economic Development
• Education
• Health & Wellness
• Mentoring

Today the organization operates its programs through over 105 chapters with more than 10,000 members.  We are proud to announce that we have more than 100,000 youth participating annually in our collective mentoring and youth development programs.

The 100 Black Men of Central Ohio, Inc. was formed in February 1999 to support the mission and programs of the 100 and to provide programming support for the youth within Columbus, Ohio and the surrounding metropolitan area.  As we celebrate our 10th anniversary, we, the members of the 100 Black Men of Central Ohio, Inc., remain committed to our national mission, to being and promoting positive images of African American men, to providing on-going service to the community and to consistently providing “Four For the Future” programming.

We hope that you consider supporting us and being about the business of connecting with, relating to, and preparing our young African American children for their journey into higher education and adulthood. We are “Real Men Giving Real Time.”
