2006-2008: Black Men’s Health and Wellness Mixers: Magnet, Castro District, San Francisco: Co Founder
The Magnet based Black Men’s Health and Wellness Mixers were a showcase project developed in Summer/Fall 2006 which combined issues of social justice, health and wellness and social ministry work for Black men in San Francisco.
Doggett organized and produced a community outreach and wellness event for African American gay men in San Francisco’s Castro District.
This project produced a monthly inter generational
community wide networking event and community forum that engaged an average of 50 men who had previously experienced alienation and displacement from issues of racial discrimination in The Castro.
The event goal was to reframe the conversation about the place of African American Gay men in the Castro after the contentious 2004-05 Badlands Bar events and the closure of The Pendulum, the historic Black bar in the Castro district.
The outcome of these events created a welcoming perception to become an event for all Men of Color including Hispanic, Asian Pacific Islander and Friends and supporters.
This important community empowering pilot project of Magnet Mens’ Health and Community Center [now a division of The San Francisco Aids Foundation] created opportunities for participation, visibility and projects of community service.
The Black Men’s Health and Wellness Mixers were the recipient of two proclamation from San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom for outstanding community engagement, June 2007. The first proclamation was given to Magnet, the hosting agency and the second was given to Bill Doggett for outstanding leadership.
