Brotherhood B2M Memphis

We're off to a GREAT Start!!

First, I want to thank all of our supporters for your prayers, advice, and resources. We are off to a GREAT start! The last couple of months since the start of school have been fun, exciting, and, of course, challenging. Whenever you're working with teenage boys, there is never a dull moment!

Our mission as an organization becomes clearer by the day! We're beginning to settle into an approach to our work that is going to help us become an awesome organization over time. We've experimented with a lot of programs and activities. Settling into a few that work best is an important goal for us this year.

Our supporters have been great. The partnerships we're forging with other like-minded organizations are helping us serve our members better, and the young men and boys we are serving are responding enthusiastically.

So stay tuned, everyone, The Brotherhood is here to stay! Keep us in your prayers, and Thank You for your continued support!

A GREAT YEAR!!

St. Jude 2023 Walk/Run Event

Many thanks to all the fellas and their parents who participated in this year's St. Jude Walk/Run Event last month. It was AWESOME!! To those parents who were able to walk with us, we truly appreciate your efforts and support. We are committed to supporting the work of St. Jude whenever we get the chance. They do some of the most amazing work with the many young children they treat each year. We are forever grateful for their work, and we will always be a supporter. Thank you St. Jude Children's Hospital for all you do!

University of Memphis Football Game!

Took a bunch of Brotherhood fellas to the University of Memphis football game against Tulane earlier this month. Thanks again to DeJuan Parker and the men of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity for the tickets. Although the Tigers had a difficult night, there is nothing like a good college football game. Love the atmosphere...check another box. We had a great time!!

WFF Sundays

WFF Sunday (Worship, Family, and Fun) with The Brotherhood!! Each month we visit and fellowship with a church here in Memphis. In the last two months, we've visited two churches, Brown Baptist and Pilgrims Rest Baptist Church. We enjoyed worship services at both churches. For fun, we went rock climbing after leaving Brown Baptist and skating after services at Pilgrims Rest. Thank you parents for your support! Nothing like a little WORSHIP, FAMILY, AND FUN!! God is SOOOO Good!!

Our Weekly Meetings

OMG!...the conversations in our weekly meetings are AWESOME!! Our focus this quarter has been on our "Six Principles of Personal Leadership." These principles include Perseverance, Integrity, Responsibility, Commitment, Scholarship, and Faith. These principles are building blocks to manhood. The dialog in these meetings is so inspiring! We love these sessions!

Community Service

Took a crew of fellas to clean up our adopted park (Southside Park), and this is what we found. Someone wrecked our portable toilet! Totally destroyed it! The fellas were furious! We have no idea what happened. Anyway, we got the job done. We love this park; so beautiful when it's clean. We gotta do better Memphis!

And Yes, we do have FUN!!

Your donations are deeply appreciated!

We are so grateful for the financial support we have received this year from our supporters. Your financial contributions help us accomplish so much more than we ever anticipated. We hope you continue sharing your resources with The Brotherhood throughout the remainder of the 2023 calendar year. Your contributions are helping us grow as an organization, but more importantly, they help so many young boys dream big and develop into quality young men.

Again, THANK YOU for your support!
