This Father's Day, Give Something Back: Respect
It's Father's Day this Sunday, and like usual, I'm late getting something for my Dad. So this year, instead of the same-old, same-old, I decided to get him something with more meaning.
Our client, the Family Violence Prevention Fund, has a group of supporters called Founding Fathers. They're a group of men that got together a few years ago to say, "Hey, we care about ending violence against women and children, and men need to step up to prevent it." I've met many of them, and they're wonderful people. And their ranks are growing (more than 1800 now have signed the declaration).
Each year, FVPF honors these men by running a full-page ad in the New York Times on Father's Day with the larger donors listed in the ad. Here's our release about it. Family violence is a costly issue to this country (financially and morally). If you had a Dad like mine that taught me to respect all people, then try something different this year for Father's Day -- honor your Dad, like I did, at the Founding Father's site by signing the declaration and/or making a donation.
