Dear Colleagues, Family, and Supporters:

The Annual Men of Essence (MoE) Backpack Drive Kick-Off Event is right around the corner! We’re definitely excited about bringing fellow community members together once again for this joyous and deeply gratifying social fundraiser.

The 3rd Annual MoE Backpack Drive Gala will occur at the Best Western Dallas Hotel (formerly the Wyndham Hotel) located at 8051 LBJ Freeway, Dallas, Texas 75251 on June 14, 2009 from 4 to 7 pm. In addition, our beneficiaries will be Jonathan’s Place (http://www.jpkids.org), the South Dallas Cultural Center Soul Children Theater (http://www.dallasculture.org/southDallasCulturalCenter.cfm), and the MoE Educational Grant ( http://www.essencemen.org/scholarship.html). Moreover, MoE will be presenting its first ever MoE Educational Grant Scholarship Award! Our goal is to acquire at least 200 backpacks filled with school supplies (or funds to purchase these backpacks) for young school-age kids serviced by the aforementioned organizations. Any additional proceeds will benefit the MoE Educational Grant Program. The theme for this year’s event is “A Child Today, A Leader Tomorrow.”

Upon attendance, please provide $25 donation at the door or a backpack filled with the supplies listed on the flyer shown below.
