Rooted in Resiliency Gala was nothing short of inspiring. It was incredible evening that brought the community together in support of Boys to Men Mentoring Network’s mission. The evening took place under the stars on Mission Bay and celebrated Ernie Hahn as the Boys to Men Mentoring’s Community Hero Award recipient. Attendees included Craig McClain, Larry Kesslin, Rande Turner, Mark Hoekstra, Alex Zikakis, and many more who stood behind the cause. The evening shared powerful stories of transformation from the young men in the program. Together, they are rooted in purpose, united in action, and rising stronger than ever for every struggling adolescent boy who deserves to be seen, heard, and supported.
