100 Black Men of Syracuse Inc. has announced that four local organizations will be recognized Dec. 2, 2011 during its fourth annual honors banquet. Honorees for this year’s event are P.E.A.C.E., Inc.’s Big Brothers Big Sisters of Onondaga County, Hillside Work-Scholarship Connection, On Point for College and the Le Moyne College Upward Bound Program.
The organizations will be cited for providing a variety of educational opportunities and other learning experiences for area youth, particularly at-risk youth. The banquet, featuring the theme “Laying the Foundation for Tomorrow’s Leaders,” begins at 6 p.m. at the Holiday Inn Convention Center, 441 Electronics Parkway in Liverpool.
“Our honorees truly exemplify our banquet theme,” said Vincent Love, president of 100 Black Men of Syracuse. “Because of their decades-long service, hundreds of young men and women were able to extend their academic careers and are now positive role models for today’s elementary, middle school and high school students.”
Proceeds from the banquet, which will feature entertainment by the musical group Soft Spoken, will be used to help support 100 Black Men of Syracuse’s youth programs and other community service activities.
