Strong Dads Coming Together for a Strong Cause

Who are the Funding Fathers?

These 12 dads were chosen for their commitment to their families and the community. They will have until the middle of August to fundraise. They will be doing virtual spots, fun events, securing sponsors, and asking friends to support their campaigns. The dad who raises the most will be crowned The Father Figure.

We are excited to have Sentara as a leading sponsor of our expansion throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia.  Starting with their support of our Frozen Father Golf Tournament in Portsmouth, VA to their support of the growth of our New Dad 101 programming in Hampton Roads, we are thankful for their efforts to support fathers throughout the state. Cheers to Sentara.
