LEARN ABOUT how we define a healthy father AND OUR lifespan of fatherhood model
The 15th Annual White Ribbon Campaign (WRC) in Cuyahoga County will be observed during the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, November 25th through December 10th. Thousands of people will take a public stand against women, children and intimate partners during the campaign.
As always, the local WRC invites and encourages men to take a public stand to Never Commit, Condone or Remain Silent about violence against women, children and intimate partners. The Healthy Fathering Collaborative extends a specific appeal to fathers to promote and role model nonviolence and respect for others in their families, neighborhoods and communities.
The 16 days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, fall between November 25th (International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women) and December 10th (Human Rights Day).

AND we were excited to expand our longtime partnership with Margaret Bernstein and her Dad Storybooks to promote the importance of fathers reading to their children.
Just in time for the 2025 Fathers Walk, we collaborated with Margaret to produce a fun 36-page "activity book" for children and fathers. It contains puzzles, quizzes, coloring pages and other activities for dads and kids to complete together, all of which help children build literacy and problem-solving skills
The content is designed to appeal to fathers with children across a broad age range - from toddlers and preschoolers to elementary schoolers.
It makes a perfect souvenir for dads attending the annual Fathers Walk. Learn more and order copies by clicking here.
