The Intentional Dads Showing Up Walk is presented by What's Next 414 in partnership with JCrew Foundation, Inc. to celebrate intentional fatherhood, strengthen families, and invest in the next generation through the Ready to Live mentoring initiative.


More Than a Walk. A Statement.

Every child deserves adults who show up consistently, lead with purpose, and love intentionally.

The Intentional Dads Showing Up Walk is a community-wide celebration of fathers, father figures, mentors, grandfathers, coaches, uncles, and every adult who chooses to positively impact the life of a child.

Whether you are a dad, a family member, an educator, a community leader, or simply someone who believes children thrive when caring adults show up, you belong here.

Together, we're telling a different story about fatherhood, one defined not by biology alone, but by intentional action.
