Fathers & Families Support Center’s (FFSC) 9th annual Pull For Fathers Sporting Clays Tournament at Strathalbyn Farms Club on Friday, August 23, 2024, raised over $120,000 to further the work of helping low-income fathers become positively and actively involved in their children’s lives.

A graduate from our Fatherhood program, Maurice Stafford, gave a powerful testimony about his experience at FFSC, and how we helped transform him into a more responsible parent for his kids.
