In its 23rd year of presenting the Beautillion Militaire, the Cincinnati Queen City Alumnae Chapter
(CQCA) of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated, partnered with the 100 Black Men of Greater
Cincinnati to present the six-month educational and personal development program focused on aiding
the high school junior and senior males to realize their potential as they embark on their next step into
manhood – graduation from high school and preparing for life. Throughout the educational and
personal development program, the young men interact with adult mentors and are exposed to monthly
workshops/activities including career choices/life choices, interviewing skills/resume writing,
community service, bonding activities, male health and wellness, college life, relationships, spirituality,
and financial matters. The six month program culminated in 2013 with the Beautillion Militaire Gala, a
black-tie affair where the young men were presented $17,000 in scholarships and awards.
The Beautillion Militaire Class of 2013:
Terry (Tre) Atwater III, Trent Babb, Thomas (TJ) Brame Jr., Adam Brown, Brian Burnett Jr.,
Larone Gilmore Jr., Sterling Gilmore, David Herring, Joshua Jasper, Phayon Johnson, Khalid Meatchem,
Kaemin Raphael, Julian Shackelford, Eric Southers, Dorian Walton, Joshua Ware, Reginald Williams II,
Myles Williams-Yarbough, Javan Yarborough.
Congrats to the participants and High-fives to CQCA Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated, 100 Black

PNC, The Cincinnati Reds and Players For The Planet
joined forces with Cohen Recycling and many of
Cincinnati’s leading corporations for the 4th annual
PNC/Players For The Planet E-Waste Recycling drives
held in April. The PNC/Players For The Planet E-Waste
Recycling drives provided an easy way for Reds fans and
residents of Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky
to recycle old electronics.
This event, thanks in large part to the energetic
support of the Reds, has become one of the largest e-
waste recycling drives in the entire country! There
were 4 recycling locations and the first 200 cars at each
location that dropped off electronic waste items for
recycling received 2 tickets to a Cincinnati Reds game.
Current (Jay Bruce, Ryan Hanigan) and former (George
Foster) Reds players along with broadcaster Marty
Brennaman were on-hand to greet recyclers and help
with the collection.
Despite the rainy weather, the 2013 event was on track
to break last year’s record of 199,000 pounds - nearly
100 tons of e-waste kept out of our landfills and
responsibly recycled!
High-fives to ALL involved in saving the environment
and protecting the planet!
