Fund-Raiser Set for Mentoring Program

The volunteer group 100 Black Men of Orange County is holding a fund-raiser Saturday for its high-school mentoring program.

Under the Passport to the Future program, the organization works with local high school districts to support minority students in areas including self-awareness, cultural history, relationships, leadership and social responsibility. Young men who complete the four-year program are given $1,000 scholarships for college or vocational training.

The group, which has more than 75 chapters and 10,000 volunteers nationwide, opened its Orange County chapter in 1993.

The wine and cheese reception will run from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Twin Palms Restaurant, 630 Newport Center Drive. Admission is $40.

Information and reservations: (714) 918-2117, (714) 918-0204.
