August 2026 — The Men’s Master Summit returns to the campus of Virginia Union University on Saturday, October 10, 2026, and we invite you to stand with us as a valued sponsor for this powerful and transformational gathering.

Hosted inside the Living & Learning Center, the Summit, now set for its 4^th gathering, brings together more than 100 men from across Richmond and surrounding communities for a full day of empowerment, connection, and personal growth. This curated, men-only environment has become a premier space where men of all ages can learn, heal, build, and thrive.

Founded by visionary leader Sheilah Belle, “The Belle,” the Summit was created from a challenging place in life, but has grown into a movement that strengthens families, communities, and futures. As she shares, “We are arming, empowering, and reminding the men that they don’t have to do life alone and that there are resources and other men here to help.”

A special highlight of the 2026 Summit will be the presentation of the inaugural Men’s Master Summit Man of the Year Award. This prestigious honor will recognize an individual whose leadership, service, mentorship, resilience, and commitment to uplifting others exemplify the very mission of the Summit. By establishing this award, the Men’s Master Summit seeks to celebrate men who lead with integrity, inspire positive change, strengthen families, and serve as role models within their communities.

The award is about more than recognizing one outstanding individual. It sends a powerful message to every man in attendance, especially younger generations, that character, accountability, service, and perseverance matter.

For the recipient, it represents affirmation that their efforts and impact have not gone unnoticed.

For those watching, it serves as motivation to continue striving for excellence, to invest in their communities, and to become the kind of leaders who leave a lasting legacy. We believe honoring excellence publicly helps create a culture where positive male leadership is celebrated, encouraged, and multiplied throughout our region.

The 2026 Summit will feature:

• Workshops
• Panel Discussions
• Breakout Sessions
• Youth Programming
• Lunch
• Networking Opportunities
• Wrap-Up Session
• Presentation of the Inaugural Men’s Master Summit Man of the Year Award

With churches, organizations, and men’s groups already committed, and with the dynamic facilitation of Micah “Bam-Bamm” White, this year promises to be our most impactful yet.

We are grateful for our 2026 sponsors already confirmed: Virginia Union University, The Belle Report, and FOUR DEEP. Now, we invite YOU to join them.
