At TakeCharge, we believe that fathers play a critical role in their families and communities, and we are committed to supporting and recognizing their impact. That's why we are excited to announce the Fatherhood Impact Award.
Introducing the 2023 TakeCharge Fatherhood Impact Award
The fatherless home problem is pronounced in the black community, but it is a growing problem in all ethnic groups in the US. According to Pew Research Center, “At 23%, the US has the highest percentage of children that live without a father in the world” - 3x the worldwide average. Children who grow up without a father in the home are more likely to experience poverty, mental health issues, and negative outcomes in education and employment.
The Fatherhood Impact Award recognizes fathers who embody the principles found in “The Man Code” by Mark Henry. This award is a resource for Pastors, Priests, and Religious leaders to utilize to address a nationwide epidemic of fatherless homes.
Winners will be recognized in front of their congregation on Fathers Day with a TakeCharge representative and the Senior Pastor awarding the certificates, monetary gift card, and copy of the book, The Man Code.
In addition, TakeCharge will also honor the winners by taking out a half page ad in the local newspaper. We believe elevating these men will inspire young boys and young men to emulate their behavior and young women to desire the characteristics in men that receive the award.
