We would like to thank all of the families that attended our event on Saturday August 2021 at Fraternal Order of Eagles. A big thank you to our sponsors for the venue for this event.
THIS IS A PART OF SAN BERNARDINO FATHERHOOD'S 24/7 DAD FATHERING PROGRAM
“Daddy & Daughter Dance” is an event targeting fathers/fathers-figures and their daughters/daughter-figures, ages 6 to 24 years old. Our primary objectives are:
- To raise awareness to the importance of the positive relationship between fathers/father-figures and their daughters/daughter-figures.
- To provide a supportive environment for connecting and strengthening the bond between fathers/father-figures and their daughters/daughter-figures.
Research shows that when fathers are positively involved, daughters are often:
- More self-confident and self-reliant.
- More successful in school and in their careers.
- More individualized, self-directed, self-sufficient and self-regulated.
- Have better communication and problems solving skills.
- Less likely to develop depression, anxiety and eating disorders.
- Less likely to engage in risky sexual behaviors.
- More able to trust, enjoy and relate well to other male figures in their life.
