Date: June 15
Location: Las Vegas, NV
Overview: The JOY of Fatherfigurehood will be an event focused on bridging the parental gaps children who don’t have positive male role models in their lives are missing. Through activities, stations and games there will be learning opportunities, teaching moments and the kind of bonding that comes from shared experiences. Things the children attending our event are missing.
Purpose: To give children without father figures in their lives an opportunity to spend time with men who are committed to making a positive difference, if only for a day.
Attendees: Children in foster care will be the primary invitees through our partnerships with St. Jude’s Ranch for Children, Child Haven and through the monthly DFS letter distributed to local families with foster children.
Theme: Park setting with a tailgate atmosphere to create opportunities for bonding, learning and fun.
Venue: We have secured a park in Las Vegas where the event will be held. As this is a private event, specific details are only shared with the volunteers and invitees.
Bonding Activities: Engaging games and activities for kids of all ages.
Activity Stations: From kids building kits donated by The Home Depot to a section for fishing and another to learn how to ride a bike. These are just a few.
Learning and FUN: There will be several teaching opportunities throughout the event, along with competetive games and prizes for everyone.
Amazing Partnerships: From our nonprofit partners like Raider Dad and JayRose Enrichment Center to our community partners like Kuties and Kupcakes and DJ Mikey VIP, the support for Fatherfigurehood has been overwhelming.
Catered Meal: Both Texas Roadhouse BBQ and Raising Canes will be supporting our event with donated food and drinks.
