Our annual dinner, A Toast To Fathers, is an important way for us to educate the people of St. Louis about our impact on the community at large, to recognize the accomplishments of our graduates and to generate a significant amount of income to support the ongoing operation of Fathers & Families Support Center (FFSC).

This year’s A Toast To Fathers gala dinner event will include a festive cocktail hour, a delicious 3-course meal prepared by award-winning chefs and an outstanding program that showcases the impact FFSC has on children, families and the community. You’ll also meet our 2023 Father of The Year.

We hope to see you there!
