National Fatherhood Initiative Partners with fodada to Raise Awareness of Responsible Fatherhood

GERMANTOWN, Md. - March 31, 2015 - PRLog -- For years, fathers have asked National Fatherhood Initiative (NFI) for a T-shirt to reflect their commitment to being involved, responsible, committed fathers - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

To that end, NFI is pleased to announce a partnership with the clothing line fodada to offer a trendy, high quality, 24/7 Dad® T-Shirt and to ask a very important question: What’s a 24/7 Dad?

Not only will the shirt inspire dads everywhere to share stories of what being a 24/7 Dad means, the shirt gives back as fodada will donate to NFI $5 for every shirt purchased.

Fodada, the clothing brand “for the best dada in the world,” cares about fatherhood. Founder and owner Bobby Barzi says, “We are excited to partner with NFI, who has supported so many dads and families throughout the year. We’re helping NFI serve more dads, while making dads feel comfortable and look their best.”

NFI cares deeply about raising awareness around the importance of responsible fatherhood, building fathers’ knowledge, and increasing their skills – messages that are delivered by thousands of social service and community-based organizations across the country via NFI’s 24/7 Dad® program. NFI exists to help dads be dads 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This new T-shirt not only reflects the 24/7 Dad® brand, but also the deep meaning of being a 24/7 Dad.

Christopher A. Brown, NFI President says, “Given the severity of father absence in our nation, it's vital we partner with companies that understand the importance of social good. We're excited to partner with a company like fodada that not only understands dads and their importance, but also understands what it means to be a 24/7 Dad. Working with fodada will help dads across the country show just how proud they are to be an involved, responsible, committed dad around the clock, and our organization-partners more deeply connect the dads they serve to what it means to be a 24/7 Dad."

In addition to offering the shirt, the #247Dad campaign will focus on promoting responsible fatherhood, encouraging the public to share what being a 24/7 Dad means to them, and the five key traits of a 24/7 Dad: Self Awareness, Caring for Self, Fatherhood Skills, Parenting Skills, and Relationships Skills.

As the premier fatherhood renewal organization in the country, National Fatherhood Initiative (NFI), founded in 1994, works in every sector and at every level of society to “create a world where every child has a 247 Dad℠.” NFI is the #1 provider of fatherhood resources in the nation. Since 2004, through FatherSOURCE™, its national resource center, NFI has distributed over 6.6 million resources, and has trained over 13,500 practitioners from over 6,500 organizations on how to deliver programs to dads. NFI is also the most quoted authority on fatherhood in America. Since 2009, NFI has been mentioned in over 4,000 news stories, and makes regular appearances in national media to discuss the importance of involved, responsible, and committed fatherhood.
