Charities and men ... it can be hard to pick just one
Posted on 5/11/10 by Scott Mayer, Guest Blogger
Adding value and giving back to the community is what One Man Minneapolis is all about. We think we do that in a fun way that not only puts the spotlight on great guys in the community, but also non-profit organizations, big and small, that are doing great work.
One Man Minneapolis is an event that identifies the one man, aged 24-44, in the Minneapolis St. Paul area who represents the best of the Twin Cities from the perspectives of community involvement, personality, intelligence and fitness.
Twenty finalists have been selected and each guy has selected a charity to affiliate with. You can meet these guys and learn about them and their charity at two remaining happy hours between 5 - 7 p.m. at Martin Patrick3 May 13 or at Om restaurant May 20.
You can vote for your favorite guy at www.onemanminneapolis.com, where you see photos and video clips of the guys, along with information about their charity.
The main event will be held at the Pantages Theatre in downtown Minneapolis on Saturday, May 22 at 8 p.m. Fine finalists will be announced and the final five will participate in a live competition involving fashion, pop culture trivia, informal interviews and fun.
The guy ultimately selected as One Man Minneapolis will split $5,000 cash with his selected charity, and the charities also receive 30% of ticket sales to the event.
One of the best features of One Man Minneapolis is that it brings a variety of people and organizations together in various social settings. Check out the happy hours or the main event for yourself and see some great people in action and why the Twin Cities is a great community. Tickets for the main event are available at www.onemanminneapolis.com.
