We are tired of the violence and negative stereotypes that surround the African American community, so we decided to do something about it. We are hosting this event for all males who are fathers or father figures to a child(ren); we want to get all the father’s in the community together to celebrate fatherhood and spend time with their child(ren). We want to host an event in the community that wi
ll bring the father’s together to celebrate father’s day and spending time with your children. Being a father is important but being a part of your child’s life in life-changing; it creates memories that can never be erased. Petersburg has been going through some turmoil lately with the recent deaths of these African American youth and adults. These deaths have begun to shed a negative light on the city; it raises the idea of what are we going to do to stop this. This Dad’s Day Out is a start; African American males have collectively came together to put on this event to shed a more positive light on the city of St. Petersburg and get dad’s more involved in their children’s life. We are members of the community that decided to come together and put on an event for the community; we have a tight budget and limited funds; as a result we are depending on the community for donations of all kinds. We want to do our part in the community and we are asking for any donations that you can donate to help us see this vision through and unite the men in the city of St.
