NYC Mayor Eric Adams Celebrates 10-Year Anniversary of Black Men’s Brunch PART 3/4

NYC Mayor Eric Adams and 500 Men Making A DifferenceBorn from an idea Mayor Adams had over a decade ago of patronizing small businesses while creating an environment of collaboration and brought to life by 500 Men Making A Difference, the gathering is a community-building initiative geared toward bringing together impactful organizations and the men of the city to work together to provide top tier mentoring, internships, programs and opportunities for young Black and Brown men of NYC.In its 10-year history, the BMB has mentored more than 200 young men, spent more than $30,000 at local establishments and helped form meaningful bonds between men of all ages. The topics discussed range from education, finance and investment, mental health and wellness, and the future of tech in NYC.“We've stumbled onto a village of men that care about these communities ... this city, and we are seeing how working together we can do great things.” — Cyriac St Vil, Vice president, 500 Men Making A Difference, and Coordinator/Host of the BMB
