Chauncey Glover Project Gala

 Founded by 3 time Emmy award winning journalist and News anchor for abc 13 Houston Chancy Glover, the Chauncey Glover project is a hands on mentoring program that grooms inner-city teenage boys into upstanding and accomplished gentlemen. This is achieved through education, self empowerment, financial responsibility and college readiness. On June 9th the CPG black tie  Inaugural ball was held at the Queensbury Theatre, and was hosted by actor Christian Hayes

 

The galas theme Breaking out:  Breaking the chains, Breaking the cycle shaded light on how the troubled young men over come adversity, enhanced their characters and achieved their goals. The young men took to the stage and literally showcased a transformation out of orange jumpsuits into well groomed respectful young men headed to college with full ride scholarships. 

 

 

Several of the city's most influential figures were honored at the gala. These included 

U.S. Representative Sheila Jackson Lee, 18th Congressional District – “You Are Fearless Award”

Constable Alan Rosen, Harris County Constable’s Office Precinct 1 – “Heart of Houston Award”
