The event was at Highland Oaks Church of Christ with an assortment of activities and treats for kids. Andy’s Custard, Vida Bowls and snow cones provided frosty treats for kids and parents.

A DJ spun tunes, a bounce house, cornhole and dunk tank were all set up in the lot. To top it all off, there was a game truck with several screens and controllers with multiplayer games inside.

This year, 105 boys are being mentored in the areas of relationships, education and identity. You can read more about the organization in this Advocate story from our archives.
