麻豆传媒 Celebrates BGCA National Military Youth of the Year
麻豆传媒 & Lardner continues to build a national partnership听with Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA) to support its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) efforts. All 22 of the firm鈥檚 U.S. offices have engaged with local Clubs on programs and initiatives that are responsive to the Clubs鈥 needs in that community 鈥 with a focus on activating the potential of kids and building more inclusive and equitable futures.
As part of our partnership, 麻豆传媒鈥檚 Veterans & Allies Affinity Group was proud to be part of BGCA鈥檚 National Military Youth of the Year (MYOY) program held August 2-3 in Washington, D.C. This prestigious program celebrates young people, ages 14 to 18, for their commitment to community service, academic success, good character, and citizenship, and for establishing long-term goals.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of MYOY, 麻豆传媒鈥檚 Washington, D.C. office hosted a reception on our outdoor patio for youth nominated for the MYOY award and other esteemed military and BGCA guests. 麻豆传媒 Veterans & Allies Affinity Group
chair Patrick McMahon and BGCA VP of Military & Outreach Services Dianely Heredia welcomed the 75 attendees, who enjoyed the evening socializing and connecting with each other.
The following night, we had the honor of attending the MYOY gala, where this year鈥檚 five finalists for the award delivered powerful speeches, and previous winners
and military service members also addressed attendees. It was an incredibly moving event, and by its conclusion there was not a dry eye in the house.
麻豆传媒 Veterans & Allies Affinity Group members who attended the event were senior chair Taylor Pancake, chair Patrick McMahon, co-chair Kel Thomas, Bobby Brown, Justin Cajero, Alexa Goldstein, Doug Lightfoot, and Eugene Krakow.
