Last Thursday, we gathered at The Estate in New Haven for our inaugural Great Wines, Greater Futures event, raising over $70,000 to support youth mentoring in Connecticut. Our guests enjoyed an exceptional wine tasting experience guided by world-renowned sommelier Kevin Zraly, and the heart of our mission came alive when Big Brother Alex Beck and Little Brother Mekhi McCorter took the stage to share their 13-year mentoring journey and the profound impact it has had on both of their lives.
“Kids are people too, and everybody deserves a voice,” said Little Brother Mekhi McCorter. “Meeting Alex changed the way I saw myself and my future. He helped me stop doubting myself and start believing I could become whoever I wanted to be.”
