Join in the Celebration for NIRMM 2020

It is almost November! NIRMV is so excited because that is the time set aside for National Inspirational Role Models Month (NIRMM), our annual signature.celebration month. This year, we decided to focus on sports with the 2020 theme "Gaining Inspiration from Sports and the Spirit of Champions." Appropriately, our 2020 Historic Role Model is Olympic Champion Jesse Owens. Learn more about him and other sports pioneers plus their legacies. Get enlightened about sports topics and trivia. Engage in fun activities. Shop for official celebration items. You can do all of this by visiting www.nirmm.wordpress.com. In addition, your kids can also have age-appropriate sports experiences or participate in contests at www.nirmvkids.org. As our ongoing NIRMM theme states, Celebrate Who Inspires You. What a great cause for celebration!

NIRMV Salutes 2020 Partner of the Year

Prince Hall Grand Youth Fraternity, Jurisdiction of Michigan

National Inspirational Role Models Visionaries (NIRMV) loves giving recognition where it is due. As a 501 (c) (3) public charity, we were encouraged to carry on amid challenging times. By partnering with the Prince Hall Grand Youth Fraternity, Jurisdiction of Michigan (Grand Youth Fraternity), NIRMV was able to evolve some of our signature events/projects plus launch new ones. Aspects sustained included NIRMV Recommended Reading List Kids Edition and community service drives. Notable launches included NIRMV Inspiring High School Grads and Reading Rewards Stay-At-Home Party. The Grand Youth Fraternity was our largest group of participants for Reading Rewards. NIRMV strongly believes, even during a pandemic, it is important to keep our youth inspired and positively engaged for ongoing success. We remain grateful to Grand Youth Fraternity Chair Jackie Butts, Adult Advisor Leona Phillips and other leaders/parents who avidly supported NIRMV efforts. NIRMV salutes our 2020 Partner of the Year again with sincerest wishes for continued growth and success.
