PARKER, CO – BeMen Foundation announces the 2nd Annual M.E.N. Summit, a purpose-built one‑day event that brings together men and teen boys (ages 13–17) for meaningful dialogue, emotional growth, and personal transformation. Happening on Saturday, August 23, 2025, from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM at The Schoolhouse Theater in Parker, Colorado, the summit is designed to address today’s most pressing challenges facing men—without political, religious, or personal agendas.

“To have courage is to have heart; to encourage is to give heart,” said Brett “Zach” Zachman, founder of BeMen. “At the M.E.N. Summit, we’re creating a space where men and young men can both find their own heart and learn to give it to others—through service, leadership, and brotherhood.”

The M.E.N. Summit is not about hype or gurus—it’s about real stories, real tools, and real breakthroughs. Over the course of the day, attendees will engage in honest conversation and receive practical frameworks to support emotional wellness, leadership, and healthy relationships. The day includes:

• Continental breakfast to spark connection and camaraderie
• Guided honest dialogue, personal challenge exercises, and peer support
• Insightful, actionable guidance—no shaming, no guilt trips, no boot‑camp mentality

With current statistics showing staggering trends—such as 1 in 3 women experiencing partner violence, 1 in 3 children growing up absent their biological father, and suicide rates among men 3–4 times higher than women—the need for spaces where men can reflect, heal, and develop is urgent.

“When men become emotionally healthy inside, women become physically safer. Partnerships remain intact, and children grow up in homes that nurture instead of divide,” added Zachman. “We’re not just talking about personal transformation—we’re working toward generational healing.”

Registration is open now:

• Adult men: $47
• Teen boys (ages 13–17): $25
