End-of-Year Events & Rewards

Our Events

Finally, Boys 2 Men provides a celebratory event for all its participants who make it to the end of the year. At the conclusion of the event, each youth receives a leadership trophy commemorating their successful completion of the program. They also receive their Boys 2 Men Youth Programs t-shirt, dinner, and tickets to attend activities such as Sky Zone or go-kart riding as one way to continue to expose them to other ways to have fun. On average, we celebrate nearly 40 students each year. We also recognize our nearly 10 volunteers who have helped us make it through the years.

Funding is very important and needed for our organization to continue providing programming in the Des Moines community. We could definitely use donations of any amount to continue our programming of football camps, camping, tours to historical sites, local sporting events, snacks, meals and drinks, t-shirts, games, supplies, and a host of other necessities as we continue to be proactive in our efforts to save our youth. This is important because programming and all activities are 100% free to all participants.
