High 5 and Handouts

By Mike Rothwell, Board Member/Director of Community Partners for Father’s Club

When most students think of the Father’s Club, they immediately picture a High Fives and Handouts event. These events matter.

Every kid needs a trusted adult in their life telling them they have what it takes. At the Father’s Club, we do that by showing up before school starts and giving students a high five and a breakfast treat. With sixteen (16!) high schools participating with the Father’s Club, this is a tremendous amount of food.

Over the years, we’ve partnered with the franchise owners in our community from Chick-Fil-A, Sonic, McDonalds and Dunkin Donuts.  There’s no way we could encourage students to have an awesome day and make sure they know they matter without the support of our High 5 and Handout Supporters.

Thank you Chick-Fil-A for being there from the very first day!

Thank you to Sonic for filling the gap for the larger student bodies!

Thank you McDonalds and Dunkin’ Donuts for your recent partnership
to bring smiles on kids’ faces!

Tis the Season to Start Shopping! – Father’s Club Merch and Amazon Smile

By Kevin Easterday, Board Member/Treasurer for Father’s Club

Father’s Club Merch Store

Father's Club MerchThe Father’s Club is excited to announce that we have a new MERCH store on our website. We are so thankful to have MERCH available for you to purchase whenever you desire. The holiday season is fast approaching. We have supply chain issues, no one wants to work and we’re coming out of that pandemic thingy. But we have Father’s Club MERCH!!!

Our goal in everything we do is to make things simple and excellent for Dads. So all you need to do is visit www.fathersclub.org. CLICK on MERCH. Pick out your SWAG (a little birdie told me to tell you to pay special attention to the camo hats that have been added to our MERCH store). Order by November 15, 2021 so it will arrive before the holidays. Wrap it up. Put it under the tree or whatever ornamental decoration you choose in your home. Then your family has no need to shop for you this holiday season as you did it all for them. That’s it! See how easy that was?

Amazon Smile

Now, I am sure that most of you will do some shopping on Amazon this holiday season. One of the beautiful things about Amazon (and there are several) is how SIMPLE it is to support a not for profit organization through Amazon Smile. Another truth nugget, is that your annual Amazon spend would probably make you sick to your stomach. Especially this time of the year. So why not make yourself feel a little better and add The Father’s Club to your mobile and desktop Amazon Account thru Amazon smile?

“But wait! I suck at technology stuff!”

No Fear.  The Father’s Club is here to make it simple for you.
