DePaul Community Health Centers’ Infant Empowerment and Education Program (DIEEP), Crescent City Family Services, Seven Star Academy Inc., and TrainingGrounds hosted the Second Annual A Date with Dad event on Saturday, June 7, at Xavier University of Louisiana’s Grand Ballroom (1 Drexel Drive, New Orleans, LA 70125). The free event was open to all fathers and father figures.

This year’s theme, Strong Fathers, Strong Families, Strong City, highlighted the vital role fathers play in building strong families and fostering a thriving community. Participants engaged in panel discussions covering essential topics, including paternal mental health, defining fatherhood, career development, the impact of education on parenthood, financial literacy, and other related issues. 

The event also featured local vendors, including Total Community Action, Aetna, Hope Credit Union, and others. Every father received a healthy lunch and a barber shop voucher. Other prizes, including a flat-screen TV, grills, a PS5, and gym memberships, were also raffled off at the event.
