What an incredible evening!

The ForeverDads Executive Director and Program Manager, along with their children, had the privilege of attending the 147th All Pro Dad Experience at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center—the very first All Pro Dad Experience ever held in Ohio.

We had the opportunity to hear from Buckeye greats Maurice Clarett and Master Teague III, while Ohio State Buckeyes Coach Ryan Day and Lt. Governor Jim Tressel delivered powerful messages about the importance of fatherhood, leadership, and investing in our children.

Many people don’t realize that All Pro Dad is the same nationally recognized program that ForeverDads partners with to bring father-child breakfasts into local schools throughout our region. These simple but meaningful events create opportunities for dads and kids to connect, grow, and make lasting memories together.

Would you like to see an All Pro Dad breakfast at your child’s school? We’d love to help make that happen! Contact ForeverDads at (740) 453-1323 or send us a message.

A special thank you to the Ohio Department of Children and Youth for facilitating such an awesome evening and for supporting father engagement across Ohio.

Today, Program Managers Eric and Kurtus have the privilege of representing ForeverDads at Noble Correctional Institution, connecting with fathers who are preparing for reentry into their families and communities.

At ForeverDads, we believe every father deserves the opportunity to grow, rebuild relationships, and create a better future for their children. Through our reentry services and fatherhood programs, we’re helping men develop the skills, confidence, and support systems needed to succeed both inside and outside the institution.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to partner with Noble Correctional Institution and invest in fathers who are committed to positive change. Strong fathers build strong families, and strong families build strong communities.
