Thank you to all our attendees, sponsors, partners, and supporters for helping to make our 11th annual Celebrating Fathers Golf Classic and Driving Fatherhood Awards a huge success. Your support helps us fund our Early Head Start Program, which provides early care and education to pregnant women and families with children ages 0-3.
This year’s Driving Fatherhood Award was presented to Michael DiBerardinis, Managing Director for the City of Philadelphia for serving as a role model, father, grandfather, and supporting families through public service. During DiBerardinis’ acceptance speech he explained, “The commitment we have as a society to our family: it’s about our future, our community, and fatherhood.”
The Driving Fatherhood Award was also presented to Early Head Start Parent, Jeff Dukes, for serving as a champion of fatherhood in the community and for preserving through difficult situations with a great sense of humor. Dukes remarked, “Fatherhood is a love that I am always willing to give. And I have learned that if I give it out, it returns.” Congratulations to these two exemplary fathers and role models!
