You are cordially invited to a special event recognizing the young men from Rocketship Northeast Nashville Elementary School as they embark on a transformative journey with Stronger Than My Father’s (STMF) “In-School Mentoring” program. A tie ceremony symbolizes a young man’s transition toward personal responsibility, professional readiness, and leadership. WE NEED YOU! Volunteer to place a tie on a young man.
We are honored to have Lelan Statom as our Keynote Speaker for this event. He is an Emmy Award-winning meteorologist, television personality, and community leader who has been a familiar presence in Middle Tennessee for more than three decades. A longtime member of NewsChannel 5, he serves as a meteorologist on NewsChannel 5 This Morning and co-host of Talk of the Town.
Beyond broadcasting, Lelan is deeply committed to community service, youth development, and education. His journey of perseverance, professional excellence, and commitment to serving young people provides an inspiring example for the boys in our mentoring program. A reminder to them that with passion, hard work, education, and a commitment to helping others, they can pursue their dreams, overcome challenges, and make a meaningful difference in their communities.
