We had a GREAT turnout for our first Fatherhood Event in Rapides! It was truly wonderful to see so many fathers and father figures show up to support their children. Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make this event such a success. We look forward to many more opportunities to celebrate and strengthen family engagement in our community! We also want to extend a big THANK YOU to our local businesses for their generous donations and support. Your contributions helped make this event a success, and we are grateful for your investment in our children, families, and community. Thank you: Pizza Hut, Golden Corral, Chick-fil-a, Macs Fresh Market, The Peach Cobbler Factory, and Sonic!
