35 Years of Relationships Powering Opportunities Gala

Think about the mentors who shaped your life — the people who believed in you, guided you, and opened doors you didn’t even know existed. For 35 years, MENTOR has worked to ensure every young person has similar access to people who help them thrive. Since 1990, we’ve fueled a tenfold increase in mentoring across the country, helping millions of young people succeed in school, at work, and in life. From classrooms to sports fields, neighborhoods to workplaces, we’ve led, expanded, and strengthened the mentoring movement–because while talent is everywhere, opportunity is not. As we celebrate this milestone, we invite you to join the national nonprofit MENTOR in celebration, shaping a future where every young person has relationships that power opportunity.

MENTOR’s 35^th Anniversary Gala will celebrate two Champions of Mentoring who had a huge impact on both MENTOR as an organization, and on the field of mentoring:

• Former MENTOR CEO David Shapiro will be honored with a Lifetime Achievement award for all he has done to push the mentoring movement forward.
• Basketball great Bill Russell, who was a founding board member of MENTOR and a huge advocate for mentoring throughout his life, will be honored in memoriam.
