WASHINGTON, DC – May 14, 2010 - The 100 Black Men of Greater Washington, D.C. (“the 100”) announced today that FedEx donated $10,000 to support programming and scholarships. Michael E. Melton, President of the 100 Black Men of Greater Washington DC accepted the check from FedEx representative Eddie Patterson.

 

The funds were designated for the 2nd Annual Tommie Smith Youth Track Meet and the Reginald T.

During the track meet several mobile units will be on hand to provide health care screenings to the athletes, parents and the local community. Approximately 30 FedEx volunteers will provide event support on the day of the track meet.
