The Youth Mentoring Initiative (YMI) has lined up a panel of speakers for its annual fundraising Mayor’s Breakfast September 1st.

The event will feature a panel discussion, moderated by Mayor Scott Fadness, on the role mentorship has played in the successes achieved by our panelists as they were thrust into public roles.  The panel includes:

·       Kelsey Murphy: MasterChef: Legends 2021 winner; Owner of Inspo in the Fishers Test Kitchen

·       Noah Malone: Paralympic sprinter for Team USA; Indiana State University student-athlete and former Hamilton Southeastern High School student-athlete

·       Ronald Nored: Assistant Coach of the Indiana Pacers; Former Butler University point guard, including two Final Four appearances

“On behalf of the entire Board and staff, we are excited to bring together this incredible panel,” remarked YMI Executive Director Brittany Rayburn in a news release. “Each of these individuals have been guided and impacted by mentors along their journeys of accomplishment and now have a desire to give back. We’re looking forward to an inspiring morning with them and Mayor Fadness.”

The breakfast event is 7:00am-8:30 am at Heritage Gardens at the Historic Ambassador House.  The fundraising event directly benefits YMI’s mission to connect Hamilton Southeastern School District students with a volunteer mentor once a week.
