17th Annual Celebration of Fatherhood Conference

Cuyahoga County's Fatherhood Initiative's Celebration of Fatherhood is an annual forum created specifically to promote healthy father-child relationships, address the social problems that result from "father absence" and strategize as to what we must do, as a community, to ensure that every child has a dad in his or her life.
