MEN WHO CARE GLOBAL
Monday July 4, 2011
4pm-12am
Uptown Charlotte
Brought to you by:
Faith, Civic, Corporate, Sports and Public Sector Partners
Objective: A significant presence of black men in uptown Charlotte for the duration of July 4th activities to ensure a safe, family friendly day of holiday celebration.
Target: To implement a 3 tier engagement process that will serve as a model to eliminate occurrences of public unrest involving black youth at the uptown July 4 celebration events.
Event Overview: Recognizing that adult presence where young people congregate is a deterrent to disorderly behavior, Men Who Care will provide added adult presence during the July 4th celebration.
- The Men Who Care network will serve as goodwill ambassadors with a focus reaching young black men during the July 4th celebration in uptown Charlotte.
- Men Who Care is NOT an auxiliary security/enforcement presence. Men Who Care support Chief Monroe and the Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department and their efforts to ensure a safe July 4th celebration for all.
- Men Who Care encourages all parents to be aware of the approved City of Charlotte curfew policy and to ensure that your young people are adhering to the policy.
Sponsorship Opportunities are available!
