July 22, 2022 – Sarasota

Boys & Girls Clubs of Sarasota and DeSoto Counties will honor Carolyn Mason, Community Leader, and Steve Cantees, Secondary Schools Executive Director at the 16^th Intertape Polymer Group (IPG) Leadership Breakfast for their commitment to empowering our community’s future leaders to reach their full potential. The event will take place on Friday, September 9 from 7:30 AM to 9:00 AM at the Lee Wetherington Boys & Girls Club, located at 3100 Fruitville Road in Sarasota. 

For the last 16 years, our community has come together every September at the annual Intertape Polymer Group (IPG) Leadership Breakfast to honor incredible individuals who have been instrumental in empowering our youth to achieve great futures. This year our two honorees are dedicated and committed to ensuring our youth and families have access to community enrichment programs that provide a pathway for academic success. The Leadership Breakfast will celebrate the honoree’s dedication to supporting teens as they develop leadership skills, explore entrepreneurial education, and continue college and career readiness.

“Intertape Polymer Group supports the mission of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Sarasota and DeSoto Counties as we believe that all young men and women deserve a chance to cultivate and reach their full potential,” states Greg Yull, President and CEO of Presenting Sponsor, IPG. “The Boys & Girls Clubs of Sarasota and DeSoto Counties represents a conduit of opportunity, leadership and talent, which are the fundamental building blocks for developing a strong, vibrant community in the twenty-first century.”
