Thanks to Diamonds Men’s Wear Sure our Mentees traveled to Las of America,Inc. 37th National Conference

Every organization eventually looks to spread its wings and expand further. The 100 Black Men of Greater Cleveland, Inc.(BMOGC) leadership has been working diligently to secure funding for 100BMOGC. Thanks to an introduction by member Lamont Dodson to Randy Diamond of Diamond’s Men’s Store, the door was opened for the 100 to discuss a sponsorship-focused partnership to benefit their mentoring programs targeted at African American youth. Our mission of the 100 Black Men of Greater Cleveland, Inc. is to improve the quality of life within our communities and enhance educational and economic opportunities for all African Americans.

These partnerships are mutually beneficial as they give the sponsor a way to give back to the community that has supported their business through a trusted collaborator, like the 100 BMOGC, Inc. What better to enhance educational and economic opportunities for all African Americans? Mentoring is the essence of the Greater Cleveland 100. Through our signature economic development programs, education, health & wellness, leadership development, and mentoring, we aim to be Cleveland’s premier mentoring organization.

The Diamond brothers pledged an ongoing financial commitment through 2022, and in 2023, they are still committed to helping the 100. Vice Chairman Greg Lockhart has been serving as the liaison for their organization and has done a fantastic job. The 100 BMOGC, Inc. is proud to partner with a company like Diamond’s Men’s Store. This longtime community member shares common goals based on solid values, the enrichment of our youth, and opportunities for all. Our partners are at the forefront of every industry, solving challenges and assisting in finding new ways to help positively change the future of youth.

One such commitment Diamond made was to provide the mentees with outfits to participate in the competition in Vegas. The young man was very polished and wellbehaved while representing the Cleveland Chapter. The complete outfit included pants, a shirt, a tie, and a blue blazer from the generous support of Diamond’s Men’s Wear.

Randy Diamond even started to invite others to participate in helping to work with our mentees.
