Dear Leaders, The 300MenMarch Movement is having its next mass march this Friday August, 23rd. Friday's March is in support of the education of our young men as they begin a new school year. We are asking every man to bring at least one young man with him. Please see march details below and feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. See you Tomorrow! Thanks Brandon M. Scott
 300 Men March for the Education of Young Boys Friday August 23rd 2013 As the Men of our community, we are sending a collective boost of encouragement and emotional support for our young sons, brothers, nephews, mentees, and neighbors for this upcoming academic school year. THE PROBLEM? Each year, thousands of young people prepare to return to their school grounds in anticipation of successfully completing their school year. Yet, many of these students do not get the encouragement, inspiration, or emotional support needed to feel confident about school. THE SOLUTION! As Men, of our community, we are starting a NEW tradition right here in Baltimore City. At the beginning of each academic school year, we will host a community walk WITH our boys, as we send them off into the new year with the inspiration, support, and encouragement from the MEN of the community. THE KICK OFF On Friday August 23rd we host our first 300 Men March for Education in Baltimore City. The March will take place in the Park Heights Community.
