DBMG: A Brotherhood for Good

The Diablo Black Men’s Group (DBMG) is a brotherhood. Founded in 1999, it has evolved into one of the East Bay’s most influential organizations. Membership includes a variety of movers-and-shakers -- mayor, realtor, corporate executive, academic, software engineer, entrepreneur, retiree – men looking to support one another and leave a positive imprint in a world where they still struggle for respect and unbiased acceptance themselves.

DBMG works for its members, families and their surrounding community with vigor and passion. It provides a supportive network for members to thrive and exercise leadership in civic projects.

DBMG organizes healthy, fun events such as DBMG’s Memorial Day weekend Cobbler Shack at San Ramon’s annual Art & Wind Festival, DBMG’s July 4th picnic, the DBMG Scholarship Golf Tournament in September & of course the famous DBMG Black-Tie Christmas Gala.

More importantly, DBMG members put their skills & resources to use for others: Scholarships for high school students going on to college; Scholarships for students to attend the Tuskegee Airmen Flight Training Academy in Oakland; providing much needed transportation to participants of The West County First 5 Center Nurturing Parents Program; busing San Ramon Valley residents to the Museum of African Diaspora (MoAD), & presenting Prostrate Cancer Awareness & other Wellness programs to San Ramon Valley residents.
