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).

Join Master of Ceremonies David Amelotti, award-winning KMOV-TV anchor and reporter, at this year’s A Toast To Fathers gala dinner, celebrating 26 years of making a positive impact on children and families through responsible fatherhood. Enjoy a festive cocktail hour, a delicious 3-course meal prepared by five-star chefs and an outstanding program that showcases the impact FFSC has on children, families and the community. You’ll also meet our 2024 Father of The Year!
