Father of The Year Award Event

America is at a tipping point! We are on the brink of losing all we once held dear...
George Floyd’s son said, “No Man or Women Should Be Without A Father.”  What is the root cause of our societal pandemic?

Some Disturbing Facts: Approximately 

·  90% of children in urban inner-cities, 

·  50% of children in suburban communities, 

·  60% of children in Hispanic/Latinx communities, and

·  70% of children that drop-out of school, are all growing up without their Fathers in the home.   

·  90% of all crimes are committed by individuals from father fractured homes...

There is Hope.  This Initiative was Launched on 12/3/2021.

The Asheville Fatherhood Initiative, was a high-energy, collaborative event.  

People in attendance heard from the author of the Book “No Child Without A Dad,” Paul Benjamin Sr., Rick Sawyer (Hope Network of The Carolinas, Hope for Miami), Coach Tony Dungy and other local speakers.  We believe that better fathers produce healthy children, families and societies. 

When fathers are involved in the lives of their children:

·  They thrive in school and society

·  They have a healthier mental health

·  There is reduced crime and violence in the community
