The Dads Honor Rides
The purpose of the Dads Honor Rides was to raise awareness and resources for the organizations focused on strengthening child-father relationships, including but not limited to: Boot Camp For New Dads, Illinois Fatherhood Initiative, Million Father March, National Center for Fathering, Native American Fatherhood Association, Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students) and many others. Riders stopped in communities along the routes to honor and celebrate fathers and in many instances presented dads with a Great Dad Coin, as a symbol of their commitment to fathering.
