Since; we've made some significant progress. I wanted to share a brief message talk a little about the campaign and the things we've accomplished. The message is also an APPEAL for support. Please take 8 mins to take in our message...We are hopeful that you are compelled to find a way to support our efforts. We live in a loving society of caring and concerned citizens. Often and more comfortably so, we turn attention of giving and support to the many deadly diseases afflicting mankind. Mostly these issues command the most public attention. In contrast there are things that plague our families and communities with as much destruction as sickness. Fatherlessness is one of those issues. Help us change lives by supporting the Ties Never Broken Campaign. http://www.fatcatvideo.net/VideoDetail.aspx?pv=yt&assetId=4SSec7v6ga0 Tue, 19 Jul 2011 00:00:00 GMT "Ties Never Broken," is a cause marketing campaign that embodies the need to address fatherlessness and mentoring. The term speaks to the all too real connection between children and their need for biological fathers and positive male role models. Estranged, deployed, deceased or otherwise, there is a tie/connection that is never broken between parents and their children; including that of too often undervalued fathers. The symbol of a bow tie expresses this reality. Especially since a tie is such an intimate ritual between a father and son (men in general). http://www.fatcatvideo.net/VideoDetail.aspx?pv=yt&assetId=5DUI_6ay1-Q Tue, 21 Jun 2011 00:00:00 GMT Fatherlessness is considered one of the most pervasive social ills impacting families. According to the One Hundred Billion Dollar Man, a study released by the National Fatherhood Initiative, the federal government spends $99.8 billion dollars every year on programs -- including child-support enforcement and anti-poverty efforts -- to support father-absent homes. The report further alludes that half of all children and 80 percent of African-American children can expect to spend at least part of their childhood apart from their fathers. Guest - Edward Lawson Mr. Lawson is a Certified Mediator and Case Manager with Parent Help, Child Find of America's Responsible Fatherhood project. Mr. Lawson's chief focus is to re-energize the participation of fathers in the lives of their children.

Although seldom discussed, fatherlessness accounts for a large percentage of drama and trauma within the African-American community. Over the years we have met a large percentage of fathers who are interested in reconnecting with their children but who do not have the skills and/or support to begin the healing process. This Father's Day (June 19, 2011) we are asking men who have been estranged from their children to be bold enough to take the first step in reconnecting with their children. Using social media as well as leveraging partnerships with community based organizations the initiative seeks to mobilize one hundred thousand fathers to do one of the following: 1. pick up the phone (make contact with your son or daughter) 2. write a letter (sending a letter to your son or daughter maybe an initial first step) 3. contact mom or guardian to arrange to visit your child Visit www.changingfatherhood.com and www.fathersincorporated for a list of resources, web sites and other important information for fathers. http://www.fatcatvideo.net/VideoDetail.aspx?pv=yt&assetId=TGYlubbgqNA Mon, 09 May 2011 00:00:00 GMT
