Brentwood Mayor Joel Bryant stopped by the booth to meet DBMG members Horace Gipson, Alain Dangerfield, Andre Darby and Michael Carroll to learn more about the organization.

On Wednesday, June 19, 2024, Diablo Black Men's Group had the honor of attending Brentwood’s inaugural Juneteenth celebration at City Park. This momentous event brought the community together to commemorate the emancipation of enslaved African Americans and to celebrate the rich heritage and contributions of the African American community.

Hosted by the charismatic Kevin "Cuz Kev" Brown, the event was a vibrant gathering filled with live performances, delicious food trucks, craft vendors, and activities for all ages. The highlight of the evening was a powerful performance by legendary musician Lenny Williams, which filled the park with soulful energy.

In our booth, DBMG members had the pleasure of sharing information about our organization’s mission and upcoming initiatives, including our College Scholarship Program and the much-anticipated 26th Annual Christmas Gala in December. The celebration was a perfect opportunity for us to connect with the community, share our vision, and spread awareness of our work.

A special moment captured in the event’s feature photo shows some of our DBMG members standing alongside Brentwood’s Mayor Joel Bryant, symbolizing the unity and collaboration that made the day so meaningful.

We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to participate in Brentwood’s first Juneteenth celebration and look forward to attending future events as we continue our mission of education, empowerment, and community support.

We are thrilled to announce that the 2024 Diablo Black Men's Group Annual Golf Tournament was a record-breaking event, selling out with an all-time high number of golfers! Hosted once again at the beautiful Callippe Preserve Golf Course, this year's tournament brought together members, supporters, and community leaders for a fantastic day of friendly competition and camaraderie.

The weather was perfect, and the energy on the course was high as golfers enjoyed a challenging but rewarding 18 holes, all while supporting a great cause. This year's sold-out event not only reflects the growing popularity of our tournament but also the increasing support for DBMG’s mission to uplift and empower young men in our community.

Proceeds from the event will go directly toward our College Scholarship Program, which provides financial assistance to deserving young men pursuing higher education. We're proud to say that with each year, this event helps us extend our reach and make a bigger impact.
We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all our golfers, sponsors, and volunteers who made this year’s tournament such an incredible success. Your participation and generosity continue to drive our efforts forward.

We look forward to seeing everyone again next year for another exciting day of golf and community spirit!

On Saturday, June 15, 2024, Diablo Black Men's Group proudly participated in Livermore’s 3rd Annual Juneteenth Celebration, hosted at the vibrant Bankhead Plaza. The event commemorated the liberation of enslaved people in Texas, marking two years after the Emancipation Proclamation ended slavery in the Confederate States.

Organized by Tri-Valley for Black Lives, Livermore Valley Arts, and Las Positas College, the celebration brought together a rich array of cultural expressions, including music, drumming, dancing, and performances from talented local groups. The festival also featured food vendors, local businesses selling unique products, and several non-profit organizations providing community resources.

At our booth, DBMG members and their families proudly shared information about our organization’s initiatives. We promoted our College Scholarship Program, designed to support young Black men pursuing higher education, and provided details about our upcoming 26th Annual Christmas Gala, set for December. The gala promises an evening filled with dinner, live music, auctions, and dancing, all to support our scholarship fund and further community engagement.


We were grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this important celebration, and we look forward to continuing our participation in future Juneteenth events in collaboration with the City of Livermore. These gatherings are a meaningful way for us to engage with the community and spread awareness about our mission.
