Fresh and a spectacular gaming lounge, the event was indeed an unforgettable experience. The part? All proceeds went towards the Steve Harvey Mentoring Weekend for Young Men Program. Let’s dive into the details of this spectacular event.
Freedom Friday Party: A Night of Music and Empowerment
The Freedom Friday party was headlined by Steve Harvey himself, and was designed as a thank-you to the loyal listeners of the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Their ongoing support and dedication have been instrumental in making such initiatives possible. The event also raised funds for the upcoming Steve Harvey Mentoring Weekend for Young Men Program.
Partnership with Ford Motor
Crystal Worthem, Multicultural Marketing Manager at Ford Motor , expressed her excitement about partnering with Steve Harvey and his foundation to empower young men. This partnership aligns perfectly with Ford’s vision of giving to the community and empowering the youth.
The Steve Harvey Mentoring Weekend for Young Men
The Steve Harvey Mentoring Weekend for Young Men is a 4-day, 3-night program aimed at exposing young men to the responsibilities of manhood, including education, employment, and social skills. Each year, one hundred young men from the country are selected to travel to Dallas, TX with a parent or guardian for a weekend of mentoring. The program debuted in 2009 and has been making a difference in the lives of young men ever since.
Invitation to Atlanta
Steve Harvey and Ford Motor Company invite all of Atlanta to join them for their “party with a purpose”. Their mentoring program for young men aims to provide a blueprint to manhood and to inspire boys to envision and ultimately realize their dreams. By attending these events, the Atlanta community can play a part in helping these young men thrive.
