THE FATHER’S DAY COUNCIL REGIONAL AWARD PROGRAMS HAS EXCITEMENT FOR 2009

The Father’s Day/Mother’s Day Council regional award programs, directed by Regional Awards Councils, hold excitement for 2009. Father’s Day Councils formed in 17 cities all across the country will present prestigious “Father of the Year” awards. These awards recognize role model fathers in the communities the Council serves.

Awards will be presented in Atlanta, Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, Denver, Greensboro, Los Angeles, Nashville, Orange County (CA), Philadelphia, Phoenix, Richmond, Sacramento, Salt Lake City, San Diego, Tucson, & Westchester, NY.

Fathers who have attained success in their chosen fields, and have found the time to be role models in raising their children, will be honored. Our 2009 regional father honorees will help raise funds for the American Diabetes Association and the Steele Children’s Research Center. Our goal is to raise $3,000,000. In the past 10 years these “Father of the Year” Awards dinners have raised $20,000,000 to benefit our Regional charity partners, the American Diabetes Association and the Steele Children’s Research Center.

Excitement and challenge in 2009 comes with a three year partnership of the Father’s Day/Mother’s Day Council and the American Diabetes Association. This partnership brings together two great organizations that will work extremely hard to raise money for research, education and advocacy in an effort to conquer a most family affecting disease – diabetes.

We are working for families and a cure. You can help. Attend an award program, participate in an all volunteer Father’s Day Council, or make a contribution – it is for the family!
