Dads are Our Heroes!

Dads are Our Heroes!

East Hartford, CT - Father involvement has increased dramatically over the past several decades. Simultaneously, the role of fathers in their families has evolved from conceptions of fathers as distant breadwinners to a more holistic recognition that they are equal co-parents.

In honor and celebration of fathers and dads, My People Community Services and the Town of East Hartford will host the 4th Annual Dads Hero Community Event on Saturday, September 10, 2022 from 11 AM to 2 PM at East Hartford Town Green (Alumni Park), located at 1021 Main St.

To highlight the vital role Dads play in their children’s lives, key community organizations - My People Community Services, the Town of East Hartford, The Village for Families and Children, Gengras Volvo, the Department of Children and Families, Bets Sigma Lambda Educational Foundation Inc., and others - will partner to provide you with a fun-filled afternoon.  There will be field day games, entertainment, food, drinks, and tons of fun. 

It's all FREE!

Anyone can father a child, but being a dad takes a lifetime. Fathers play a role in every child’s life that others cannot fill. Come and have a great time with other dads, families, and children!
