MADISON — In the past two years, the 100 Black Men of Madison (the '100'), in cooperation with area businesses, the United States Marine Corps Reserve, and civic-minded individuals, have collected more than five thousand (5,000) toys for area disadvantaged youth during our annual Christmas Community Celebration in Support of Toys for Tots.
This year's event will again be held at the Fitchburg Community Center on Tuesday, 3 December 2013. At this event, we will endeavor to collect even more toys for distribution as Christmas gifts to needy children in the greater Madison (Dane County) area.
To accomplish this goal, the '100' would like to issue a Community Challenge to you and/or your organization to collect toys for the 2013 "Toy Raiser."
The 100 Black Men of Madison’s mission is to improve the quality of life within the community and to enhance educational and economic opportunities for all African Americans. Their vision is to seek to serve as a beacon of leadership by utilizing their diverse talents to create environments where children are motivated to achieve, and to empower people to become self-sufficient shareholders in the economic and social fabric of the communities they serve. The 100 Black Men of Madison endeavor to truly exemplify their national motto, “What They See Is What They’ll Be.”
The 100 Black Men of Madison, Inc. began its operation in 1994 and was incorporated in 1995 as a nonprofit organization comprised of members from many professional disciplines in the greater Madison area.
