My Dad Rocks Event celebrates fatherhood in Middletown | www.journal-news.comMy Dad Rocks Event celebrates fatherhood in MiddletownRelatedCelebrate Fatherhood is scheduled for June 11 in Middletown. Comedian Brian Million will perform along with Ralph Farley, a spoken word artist from Dayton.
The My Dad Rocks part of the program offers tributes by young people and members of the community to fathers or mentors that helped change their lives. They are moving these ideas across the state to help make fathers better providers.
Ohio will receive nearly $10 million over the next five years to help new and expectant low-income fathers with children under age one and fathers ages 16 to 24 to become more effective and nurturing parents, improve their families’ long-term economic stability, and build strong, lasting relationships with their children according to OCF.
The agency is challenging counties across the state to provide opportunities for fathers to become better parents, partners and providers.
“We want to get that message spread here in Butler County. It is already getting spread in Montgomery, Clark and Hamilton counties,” Shakur said.
The event is open to all members of the community and Shakur said that a disconnect happens when people think an event is open to only one segment of the community.
“Everybody is welcome and we want to see people from all walks of live from the county and community to show up,” he explained. There is a cash prize for the winner.
The event received financial support from the Partnership to Reduce Infant Mortality, The Middletown Community Foundation and private donors according to Didlick-Davis.
