On Father’s Day, I had the pleasure of joining Fathers for Progress at their 37th annual Father’s Day celebration at Sherman Park. The event included community resources, music, food, family-friendly activities, free haircuts, raffle giveaways and much more. The positive energy was amazing and I was very happy to see the community united on Father’s Day.

Fathers for Progress is a grassroots organization organized by a group of young, local entrepreneurs and fathers with the goal of recognizing responsibility, fatherhood, community involvement, and positivity. It is important to uplift organizations like Fathers for Progress that are in the community doing the work to provide resources and spread a message of unity throughout the city.

To all of the community groups, non-profits, and other organizations and partners doing this crucial work, I want to extend a sincere ‘thank you’ for your efforts. You are truly making our city a better place for everyone.
