Young Men of Distinction is powered by sponsors who believe in the next generation. Sponsorship keeps mentorship, workshops, and community experiences free and accessible for the middle and high school youth in our three programs — YMOD, YLOD, and YPOD.
Why sponsor
- Invest directly in mentorship and leadership development for local youth
- Reach families and community members at our workshops and events
- Show your brand’s commitment to education, equity, and opportunity
4th Annual YMOD Takeover Weekend — November 13–15, 2026
Our signature annual event brings young men from Palm Beach County together for three days of connection, culture, and celebration: the Surge Youth Summit, the Beats & Brotherhood Festival, and The Takeover. Sponsoring this event puts your brand in front of families, community leaders, and supporters across the weekend.
