A perfect blend of intellect and music highlighted this year’s Rooted in Resiliency to benefit Boys to Men Mentoring. The fundraiser featured acclaimed best-selling author, speaker, and educator Stedman Graham, who imparted his knowledge on the importance of self-identity and leadership as contributing factors that can alleviate the current boy crisis, to help raise needed funds to expand mentoring programs to benefit struggling teen boys. Guests enjoyed a culinary extravaganza and savored the scenic waterside ambiance at Coasterra. The highlight of the evening was the exhilarating live auction, which resulted in a remarkable $400,000 total funds raised. Capping off the night was an exclusive performance by Whitney Shay; Allie Wagner served as emcee.
