The fundraising event directly benefits YMI’s mission to connect Hamilton Southeastern School District students with a volunteer mentor once a week.
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.

- 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. “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 7th annual Mayor’s Breakfast to Benefit YMI will be held on Thursday, September 1st from 7:00-8:30 am at Heritage Gardens at the Historic Ambassador House.
