Five young men from area high schools will be presented at the 25th Annual PROC Beautillion on Saturday, Nov. 16, at the Greater Richmond Convention Center.

The young men all were recommended by a community representative and by a teacher or school administrator to participate in the eight-month program that included educational, cultural and social experiences.

The program is sponsored by the Professionals Reaching Out to the Community Foundation, the fundraising arm of the Pi Rho Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority.

Participants have an opportunity to earn scholarships and book awards for college.

The program culminates with the black-tie event at the convention center during which the young men will be presented.

The theme: “Beautillion 2019: The Quintessence of Manhood.”
