About this Event
HeroPicks & Beyond Awareness Leadership Dinner
Phoenix, Arizona | June 4, 2026
Mancuso’s PHX | 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM
This is not a typical networking event.
It is an intimate evening bringing together veterans, entrepreneurs, athletes, creators, first responders, business leaders, and advocates for a real conversation around:
leadership, adversity, accountability, resilience, healing, purpose, service, and creating meaningful impact.
The evening also marks the official launch of HeroPicks and the Beyond Awareness campaign.
Beyond Awareness was created to move the conversation surrounding domestic violence, sexual assault, mental health, and trauma beyond hashtags, headlines, and awareness alone.
We already know the statistics.
We already know the stories.
The question is:
What are we actually going to do about it?
Beyond Awareness is focused on creating action through community, accountability, leadership, and long-term infrastructure designed to connect people with real support systems and organizations making a measurable impact.
In September 2026, we will officially launch the Beyond Awareness resource platform — a centralized network where individuals, survivors, advocates, nonprofits, and communities will be able to:
• Find vetted resources and support
• Connect directly with organizations creating impact
• Help fund causes and campaigns through HeroPicks
• Create greater visibility for organizations and leaders doing meaningful work
• Build long-term community support systems rooted in action
The evening will feature an audience-led conversation with:
• Ryan Beckmann @ryanfbeckmann
• Blake Bilder @blakethebilder
• Daniel “Diamond Hands” Amesbury @ames2bury
• Olivia Nunn @the_olivianunn
• Stefan Junaeus @stefanjunaeus
• Denny Kelts @dennykeltsofficial
•Adam Hyzdu - 04 Red Sox World Series Champion
• Additional featured guests to be announced
Rather than keynote speeches or presentations, the format is intentionally designed around authentic conversation, audience interaction, and lived experiences.
The room will remain intentionally limited to approximately 50–75 attendees to preserve a meaningful and relationship-driven environment.
There will also be opportunities for aligned brands, organizations, and individuals to:
• Support the launch
• Partner with HeroPicks & Beyond Awareness
• Become involved in future campaigns and initiatives
• Participate as sponsors, advocates, or contributors
This evening is about more than one event.
It is about building a movement centered around leadership, accountability, healing, connection, and lasting impact.
If you believe awareness alone is no longer enough — this room is for you.
Limited seating available.
Reserve your spot now and be part of the conversation from the very beginning.
