“These exceptional Top Community Dads know that being a committed, responsible, and involved father means far more than being a great dad to their own kids,” comments Sharon Chatman, founder and board chair of Building Peaceful Families. “They have consistently gone above and beyond, reaching out in their communities and serving as positive male role models to other dads and to kids who may not have father figures in their lives.”
The 2012 Top Community Dads will be honored on Friday, June 8th, at the Top Dads Award Luncheon and Wellness Fair, taking place at the San Jose Airport Garden Hotel (1740 North First Street, San Jose).
