We invite you to participate in what is sure to be a well sought after annual event that will have a life changing impact on our community.
We would greatly appreciate your support by sponsoring the
1st Annual Father’s Day Festival.
Please, join us as we honor, appreciate and celebrate fathers while supporting those that work hard to improve our communities every day. This event will be filled with information, entertainment, food, art, games, and special exhibits in recognition of great fathers.
Please, visit our website at FathersRock.com

Prior to the 1960’s, the impact of the role of a father in raising children had been under-researched, underestimated, and underappreciated.
In light of the findings of research since that time period, our government has increased its interest and support to researchers regarding this issue.
As the staggering statistics climb with miniscule support for change,
Fathers Rock was formed.

This event is brought to you by
Fathers Rock, Inc.
the premier non-profit [501(c)(3)] organization dedicated to recognizing fathers and father figures who have a strong positive impact on their families and communities.
Our mission is to educate, encourage, and support fathers in order to combat the staggering negative statistics of mental and physical health problems that are directly connected to children's development.

Love Your Neighbors Ministries (LYN)
is a fiscal sponsor for this event.
LYN’s mission is to become a safe haven and a spiritual community to whom ever desires to grow spiritually and naturally. LYN is a 501(c)(3) organization.

The Event
It wasn’t until 1972 that Fathers Day was declared a national holiday. Thank you President Nixon!
The purpose of the Father’s Day Festival is to raise funds to support the development of programs that develop fathers and father figures into community leaders.
Estimated Attendance: At full capacity, this event may have over 4,000 attendees, 50+ volunteers, and a host of vendors and performers.
Marketing Exposure: Local TV, radio stations, newspapers, and other promotional materials distributed via the web (social network marketing and viral marketing) and street teams will be used to promote this event for a minimal 8 week period throughout the NOVA, DC, and Baltimore, MD areas.
Event elements will include these areas: Children’s Village (entertainment), Cooking Pavilion (samples/demonstrations from nutritional food vendors), Health/Fitness Tent (personal trainers, health education and screening), International Marketplace (multicultural retail), Restaurant Ally

The Problem & The Solution
The Problem: Our past, the numbers don’t lie…
63% of youth suicides are from fatherless homes, that’s 5 times the average (Source: US Dept. of Health/Census)
85% of all children who show behavior disorders are from fatherless homes, that’s 20 times the average (Source: Center for Disease Control)
71% of all high school dropouts come from fatherless homes, that’s 9 times the average (Source: National Principals Association Report)
85% of all youths in prison come from fatherless homes, that’s 20 times the average (Source: Fulton Co. Georgia, Texas Dept. of Correction)
These numbers have increased to present but with your support,
they will NOT destroy our future
The Solution: Our programs will develop fathers and father figures into community leaders through creating and maintaining connections between themselves youth of the community. These programs will bridge the gap by restoring and expanding connections between children and their fathers so that our communities can have the full benefits of the influence of positive, nurturing fathers whose goal is to have positive, productive, socially responsible citizens and leaders in their communities.
