The theme of Empowerment & Eggs is the power of mentoring in the lives of adults. Over 70% of executive level business people say that they have had a mentor in their lives that has helped them achieve their goals.
Trusted Mentors’ mission is to provide volunteer mentors to adults at-risk of homelessness, ex-offenders re-entering society, and young adults aging out of the foster care system. In 2010, 86% of the adults in Trusted Mentor’s program remained house; while 81% of ex-offenders remained out of the prison system. Trusted Mentors is the only organization in Indianapolis that provides mentors for at-risk adults.
Businesses interested in sponsoring Empowerment & Eggs can do so at levels ranging from $500-$5,000. Individual tickets can be purchased for $40. All proceeds will go directly to Trusted Mentors to fulfill our mission of preventing homelessness through the power of mentoring.
For more information, to purchase sponsorships, or individual tickets, contact: Jeri Warner, 317-985-5041; jwarner@trustedmentors.org.
