Community Development Celebrates International Men’s Day 2025

On Saturday, November 15, 2025, Community Development proudly hosted its Pre–International Men’s Day Gala, an evening dedicated to celebrating and uplifting the men of our community.

Attendees arrived in their formal best, contributing to a night of elegance, recognition, and camaraderie.

Awards were presented in three categories:

Best Dressed: Shurendy Winfield

Best Necktie: Justin Linzey

Best Dress Shoes: James Hassell

In keeping with the spirit of inclusion, Social Workers Gideon Wilson and Annette Augustus visited the Saba Cares Elderly Home on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, to present gifts to elderly men who were unable to attend the gala. Their visit ensured that all were honored during this special observance.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who participated and supported this year’s event. On this International Men’s Day, we leave you with a message of reflection and encouragement:

“By accepting our imperfections and uncertainties, we create space for authenticity, igniting the courage to act boldly and make choices that resonate with our true selves.”
— Sebastian Hale, 2025
