A message from our President
Dear Friends,
​
On behalf of the Tallahassee Chapter of the 100 Black Men,
I bring you greetings and a sincere welcome to our 2025
Black Tie Scholarship Gala. This is our signature event and
we look forward to recognizing the many achievements of
our outstanding youth in the community that will make an
important investment in their future as well as the world.
This year’s theme, “Empowering our Youth: Creating Opportunities, Encouraging Excellence” shows the dedicated support that we exemplify with our youth and future leaders of tomorrow.
​
As of today, we have contributed over $375,000 in scholarships, thanks to our many sponsors who have joined us in the commitment to providing funds and support to our youth. I want to personally give thanks to the families, friends, and our large community of supporters for their collective effort.
​
The Tallahassee Chapter of the 100 Black Men continues to make a difference in the lives of our youth and community as we focus on mentoring, education, leadership development, economic
development, and health and wellness. We stand on the shoulders of giants in the community and nationally. Thank you to my brothers of this great chapter for your unwavering support, with special regards to the executive team, and members of the Council of Presidents.
​
Thank you to Brother Ernest J. Lane, for his many years of serving as the Black Tie Scholarship Gala Chairman and “planning guru.” Without your expertise, this event would not be as spectacular and grow to heights as it does each and every year.
It has been my esteemed honor and privilege to serve as your eighth president. I pledge my support to Jarrett and his team and I pray God’s blessings as we move to greater deeds and accomplishments. Together, we will continue to make a difference.
With All Sincerity,
Ray
