We celebrate Father’s Day because we understand that dads, uncles, grandfathers and other men in the lives of our children are necessary for the development and future success of that child. Notwithstanding those children who grow up without a father, the failure to recognize Dads creates a vacuum of ingratitude.
- Children who grow up with involved fathers are: 39% more likely to earn mostly A’s in school
- 45% less likely to repeat a grade,
- 60% less likely to be suspended or expelled from school,
- Twice as likely to go to college and find stable employment after high school,
- 75% less likely to have a teen birth,
- 80% less likely to spend time in jail.
