Garett speaks on his family history with abuse, drugs and alcohol noting he had to “grow up fast” and find ways to better himself. His hope is to be a mentor and positive role model for local youth in the probation court system, often finding ways to connect with them directly and show his support. The 2017 1st round NFL Draft selection and All-Pro, who has spent his entire career in Denver, has worked with the mentorship program for over two years.

Inspire Change showcases how NFL players, clubs and the league are joining together to ensure that access to opportunity is a reality for all and to create progress in social justice across four key pillars: education, economic advancement, police-community relations and criminal justice reform. As part of this effort, the league regularly produces content to showcase the impact and progress being made across the NFL family and its partners

Garett Bolles Quotes

  • “Just because you make a bad decision, or a bad choice doesn’t mean that you’re a bad kid. It just means you need help.”
  • “I always tell these kids before the end of the message that, ‘I love you,’ because you never know when the last time that they felt love.” 
  • “If I can change one kid a day or one kid a month, I feel like I’m doing my purpose. I want them to know, I love them and care for them and support them; and this program that I’m doing um with the Arapahoe County has been a huge blessing to me and my family. Hopefully I can continue to do this for a very long time.”

ARES MODENA AUCTIONS ONE-OFF S1 PROJECT SPYDER SUPERCAR IN AID OF UNICEF

  • ARES Modena’s one-off supercar, the S1 Project Spyder, has sold for €1.2 million at the “Luisa Via Roma for UNICEF” charity gala
  • Exclusive edition created especially for the event, with all proceeds donated to global humanitarian charity
  • Exclusive S1 model designed entirely by the Modena-based company, immediately recognizable by its profile characterized by the absence of a windshield and roof
  • ARES’s commitment to UNICEF continues, supporting humanitarian causes around the world

ARES Modena is pleased to announce the sale of an exclusive “one-off” model of the Supercar S1 Project Spyder at the”Luisa Via Roma for UNICEF” charity gala held on July 30, 2022 at La Certosa di San Giacomo in Capri, Italy. 

Taking centre stage at the auction organized in aid of global humanitarian charity, UNICEF, the one-off model created especially for the event by the Modenese atelier stunned guests who submitted bids to secure the supercar created by the ARES Centro Stile, as the brand continues to carve out an increasingly valuable position in the luxury coachbuilding market. 

Despite global challenges, UNICEF continues to fight every day for the rights of children around the world, providing them with safe shelter, food and protection from wars, natural disasters, and inequalities.  

A winning bid of €1.2 million – with all proceeds donated directly to UNICEF – secured the instantly recognisable S1 Project Spyder. Designedwithout a windscreen, the sinuous carbon fiber body takes on a unique and organic shape, flowing inside the passenger compartment dividing and enveloping the passengers. Handmade, customised and richly finished with the finest leathers, the interior of S1 Project Spyder reveals elegant and minimalistic lines, with maximum attention to detail. 

This unique model allows drivers and passengers to feel a driving experience without filters. In fact, two wind deflectors have been designed, elegantly emerging from the streamlined bodywork, the deflectors that redirect the air current over the passengers into the air intakes behind the headrests, creating a virtual canopy and a calm yet unfiltered driving experience. 

Commenting on the auction, ARES Modena CEO and co-founder Dany Bahar said: “We are incredibly pleased to once again give our support to such an important charity as UNICEF. I am delighted that the “one-off” model of our Supercar S1 Project Spyder has attracted such global attention, meaning we are able to now donate a significant amount of support to UNICEF and help them continue their invaluable work where it is needed most.”

Marlon Wayans Accepts His Daughter for Coming Out via Cision PRWeb for use by 360 MAGAZINE

MARLON WAYANS

Actor-Comedian, Marlon Wayans, shares the ultimate expression of love and voices support for his daughter’s “coming out” experience.

As Pride Month ends, members and allies of the LGBTQ+ community have been shining a light on the stories of hardship, acceptance, and advocacy which have shaped the community into what it is today. Actor and comedian Marlon Wayans weaved his experience into the tapestry of stories in an interview with Dr. James Flowers for the podcast series “Understanding the Human Condition.”

“Acceptance is the greatest love you can have,” Wayans declared. “Nobody should be closeted about their life. Everyone should be able to live their life to the fullest.”

When Dr. Flowers inquired about Wayans’ daughter’s “coming out” experience, Wayans revealed his family’s wide range of reactions. Wayans accepted her with open arms when his daughter came out to him. However, her confession was met with some ambivalence from non-immediate family members. In response to these hesitations, Wayans doubled down on the support for his child.

“It’s your life. As long as you’re smiling, as long as you’re happy, daddy loves you. Love is acceptance,” Wayans said in response to his daughter’s coming out.

Wayans is in full support of loving parenting styles that promote the well-being of children and LGBTQ+ youth to live their life as they wish.

Dr. Flowers applauds Wayans’ response to his daughter and provides some advice for parents struggling with acceptance.

“When your child comes out, it is crucial that you continue to support them. While you may have many questions, be sensible that coming out is very difficult and potentially stressful. There is nothing a parent can do to make their child gay or straight, but you can help them thrive and live their best life.”

Pit Women Against Men in Supreme Court via Thread MB for use by 360 MAGAZINE

PIT WOMEN VS. MEN

I recently answered a cry by numerous young women on Tiktok calling for abstention from sex with men until a reversal of the Supreme Court’s recent decision on Roe Vs. Wade cometh.  Here is my response

The logic behind pitting women against all men over this decision is both unintelligent and destructive.  The Supreme Court’s reversal doesn’t make men the bad guys so why are we punishing them?  Doing so won’t change that decision in the least. 

What it will do is create yet another tragic, unnecessary divide which will only make matters worse for the entire nation, including women.  In strong-arming the court and men, the only thing women will be demonstrating is that the court was correct in its decision because “children shouldn’t be deciding the fate of other children.”  

I’m truly sick and tired of how our society continues to lump all men together and cast them in an extremely poor light when it’s convenient to do so.  That is truly unfair, especially when today’s men had nothing to do with what yesterday’s men did, said, or how they conducted themselves.  The sins of the father shouldn’t be bleeding onto their sons as men have evolved in ways we should all be proud of.  But in that, women need to recognize this as opposed to overlooking it.  Because, frankly, if we don’t, we will eliminate all reason and commitment to further growth from them.  To that same point, the tangent so many women are on to change men into beings who they were never meant to be is wrong, egotistical, and a poor reflection on those women and, ultimately, the rest of us women, too.  I resent it.  

Neither gender has the right to define what the other gender “should be.”  The sliding scale of ‘masculinity to femininity’ shouldn’t be actively coerced but a reflection of personal choice.  And as advocates of “pro-choice,” you, above any other woman, should understand the importance of this.

Be angry if you so choose, but don’t be the justification for the decision you don’t agree with.  And stop imploding on men.  Because you are shooting yourself in the foot while making yourself look backward in the face of men moving forward. 

Lids Foundation × Boys & Girls Clubs

Boys & Girls Clubs of Metropolitan Baltimore joined elected officials and community leaders to break ground on the new Mace’s Lane Community Center. The state-of-art Center will be home to a one-of-a-kind, a generational project that is designed to honor the history of the African American educational experience in Cambridge, while inspiring the next generation.

The groundbreaking ceremony included guest speakers Larry Hogan, Governor of Maryland, LajanCephas, Acting Mayor, and Cambridge Commissioner, Pastor Keith Cornish, President, Mace’s Lane Community Center, Inc., Jeff Breslin, President, and CEO of Boys & Girls Club of Metropolitan. Baltimore, and Nik Tatum, Chair, Boys & Girls Clubs of Metropolitan Baltimore Board of Directors.

“This new community center is just one of the many important redevelopment projects happening in Cambridge, and another way that we are honoring the commitment we made eight years ago when I was first running for governor,” said, Governor Hogan. “I said then that if I was elected, the war on rural Maryland would be over, and communities that had been ignored and neglected would no longer be forgotten. I meant what I said, our administration has consistently proven that over and over again, and we are doing that once again here in Cambridge.”

The new Center is designed to foster inclusive community participation and provide an environmentally safe and friendly facility for the arts, education, recreation, celebration, and locally based human services to increase opportunities for the personal and collective growth of the Dorchester County community.

The former Mace’s Lane High School building will be repurposed and redeveloped to serve as a 16,000 square foot community center. The facility will include multiple meeting rooms to facilitate training as well as organizational meetings, a full-size gymnasium which can also be used as an auditorium for larger events such as concerts and banquets, Incubator space for local community-based programs, and a museum depicting the history of Maces Lane High School and the education of the African American community during segregation and after integration.

“Boys & Girls Clubs of Metropolitan Baltimore is proud to partner with the Cambridge community, the Mace’s Lane Community Center, Inc., and the many alumni that are helping to bring the vision for this state-of-the-art facility to life.  We stand ready to continue our support of the Cambridge community and look forward to expanding Boys & Girls Club programs in the renovated Mace’s Lance Community Center and Boys & Girls Club.” said Jeff Breslin, President & CEO, Boys & Girls Clubs of Metropolitan Baltimore. Guests received a commemorative hat, provided by LIDS. The LIDS Foundation is a supporter of the Mace’s Lane project.

Once known as Mace’s Lane High School during times of segregation, the facility was an all-African-American high school that opened in 1952, and continued to be a segregated high school until 1969. During that time, all African-American students that lived in Dorchester County, MD were required to attend this school, until the County was forced to integrate in 1969, this would later become a junior high school until 2004. Eventually, a new middle school was built from the ground up and since then, the original Mace’s Lane High School has been abandoned and empty.

“We are preserving our rich history, inspiring our community, and empowering our youth for success,” said Tyrus Farrow, Sr. Project Manager for Mace’s Lane.
