Meyer Companies Helps High Risk Urban Youth

On Friday, September 28, Meyer Companies was one of several sponsors for the "Higher Impact Premiere Event."

The organization reaches out to the "high risk urban youth" and teaches them job skills, leadership skills, and provides mentoring and accountability. They has been featured by People magazine and has been recognized by the President of the United States.

The night was catered and was held in the American Jazz Museum which shares the foyer with the Negro League Baseball Museum. The premise of the night was a Hollywood style premier night to honor 7 youth who are a part of this ministry and who created their own film which was viewed in the history GEM theater.

The founder of Higher Impact, Tyrone Flowers, is a man with an amazing story. Growing up, his father was shot and killed at the age of 7, and beating the odds of his culture, 2 weeks prior to graduating and attending MU on a scholarship, an argument on a basketball court put this MU-bound ball player in the hospital after being shot 3 times. Now flowers is quarantined to a wheelchair.

His determination is a testimony in itself. He truly lives an example of endurance and attitude. Flowers, has since forgiven the man who shot him, and has a friendship with him.

An amazing example of a man who made the most of his opportunity, transforming his misfortunes into an investment that changes lives.

Another way that Meyer Companies is giving back to the the community.
