This year, Boys to Men Mentoring will celebrate 30 years of impact at its fourth annual Rooted in Resiliency Gala, marking a milestone known as the pearl anniversary—a symbol of love, wisdom, and growth shaped over time. Much like a pearl is formed through years of patience and care, Boys to Men’s work has been built layer by layer through consistent mentorship, deep listening, and authentic connection. We invite our community to join us on Saturday, April 11, 2026, for an unforgettable evening benefiting Boys to Men Mentoring.
Set against the breathtaking waterfront backdrop of the Catamaran Resort, Rooted in Resiliency offers an evening of elegance, inspired cuisine, and live music. More than a gala, this celebration is an opportunity to create lasting impact for young men across San Diego County who need guidance, encouragement, and support.
Founded in San Diego in 1996, Boys to Men Mentoring began with a simple yet powerful belief: when boys are met with love, wisdom, and a safe space to be heard, they thrive. Over the past three decades, that belief has grown into an international mentoring movement, with Boys to Men chapters around the world carrying this work forward and positively impacting thousands of young men globally.
For 30 years, Boys to Men has provided weekly group mentoring circles where boys build emotional intelligence, confidence, accountability, and resilience. Mentors don’t lecture or fix; they show up, listen deeply, and model the steady wisdom that helps boys navigate life’s challenges and step into healthy manhood.
Rooted in Resiliency honors both the journey and the future—celebrating the mentors, supporters, and community members who have shaped Boys to Men over the past 30 years. Every ticket and every gift ensures the next generation of young men continues to grow, guided by love and strengthened by wisdom.
Join us on April 11, 2026, at the Catamaran Resort for an unforgettable evening celebrating 30 years of Boys to Men Mentoring and our enduring commitment to community impact.
