Happy Father’s Day!!!
Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. Celebrates Father’s Day and Affirms Support for the March of Dimes Strong Fathers Initiative
This Father’s Day, Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. proudly joins families, communities, and partners across the nation in honoring fathers, grandfathers, stepfathers, mentors, and father figures whose leadership, love, and commitment help shape future generations.
As a fraternity dedicated to Culture for Service and Service for Humanity, Phi Beta Sigma recognizes that strong fathers are essential to building strong families, healthy communities, and a brighter future for our children. Through its partnership with the March of Dimes and support of the Strong Fathers Initiative, the Fraternity remains committed to advancing maternal and child health, promoting responsible fatherhood, and increasing awareness of the vital role fathers play in family well-being.
“Fatherhood is one of the most important forms of leadership,” said David A. Turner, International President of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. “Every day, fathers across our communities demonstrate resilience, sacrifice, and dedication to their families. On this Father’s Day, we celebrate those men who show up, lead with integrity, and create opportunities for future generations to succeed. Through our partnership with March of Dimes, we reaffirm our commitment to supporting fathers and strengthening families."
Research continues to demonstrate that involved fathers contribute to healthier pregnancies, improved birth outcomes, stronger emotional development, and greater long-term success for children. The March of Dimes Strong Fathers Initiative seeks to empower fathers with resources, education, and support that encourage active engagement throughout the parenting journey.
"Fatherhood is not simply about being present; it is about being engaged, informed, and intentional,” said Errick Farmer, Ph.D., International Director of Social Action. “The Strong Fathers Initiative aligns perfectly with our mission to improve the health and well-being of our communities. By investing in fathers, we invest in healthier children, stronger families, and more resilient communities. This Father’s Day, we encourage every father and father figure to embrace the profound impact they have on the lives of those they love.”
This Father’s Day, Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. extends its gratitude to fathers everywhere for their leadership, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to their families. We also encourage communities, organizations, and policymakers to continue supporting initiatives that strengthen father engagement and improve outcomes for mothers, babies, and families.
Happy Father’s Day from Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc.
