Join them at their facility located at 600 Orange Street, in Fayetteville, NC for an inspiring gathering dedicated to empowering men to lead with love, presence and responsibility in their families and communities. The evening will include fathers and mentors speaking words of encouragement, group affirmation for the upcoming school year and more.
Fathers, grandfathers, uncles and mentors’ roles in shaping the next generation is invaluable. This is your opportunity to connect with other men, affirm your children for the new school year, and hear powerful testimonies from fathers and male mentors who are walking the path of leadership, integrity and love.
“When men lead well, families thrive and communities grow stronger. Your participation in this event will contribute to this positive impact. We look forward to standing together with you for an evening of encouragement, connection and impact,” shared GLOF Executive Director Georgeanna Pinckney.
