JOIN US FOR AN ANNUAL BACK TO SCHOOL BLOCK PARTY IN SOUTH DALLAS
Dear Fathers Back-to-School Block Party is a high-energy community celebration designed to equip families for the school year while honoring the role of fathers in their children’s lives in partnership with The Athlete's Foot.
It’s not just a giveaway. It’s culture, connection, and preparation.
The Dear Fathers Back-to-School Block Party is an annual community celebration designed to prepare families for the school year while honoring the vital role fathers play in their children’s lives. This event is about more than backpacks. It’s about confidence, it’s about connection, and it’s about showing our children that their community stands behind them.
Each year, we bring together families, local businesses, educators, and partners for a high-energy day of service and celebration. Through free backpack and school supply giveaways, family activities, live entertainment, and access to community resources, we help ensure students start the school year equipped both academically and emotionally.

OUR PURPOSE
We intentionally create space to highlight, celebrate, and engage fathers — reinforcing the message that their presence matters. When fathers are visible and involved, children thrive and communities grow stronger.
OUR IMPACT
A space where kids feel excited, Fathers feel seen, Mothers feel supported, and Sponsors see real engagement. This isn’t just charity. It’s ecosystem building.
