2013 Massachusetts State House Fathers' Day Banner

ON JUNE 12, 2013 at 2:30 pm, on the steps of the Massachusetts State House, ‘The Fatherhood Coalition’ will hold a press conference to unveil its first annual Fathers' Day banner.  After three years of advocating for a Fathers’ Day banner, The Fatherhood Coalition is pleased to announce that the Commonwealth has agreed to honor fathers this year on Fathers’ Day. 

This is the first Fathers’ Day banner to be hosted on a state capitol in our nation.  

Fathers, whether married, unmarried, divorced or separated, are a fundamental part of every family and our children's lives, . 

The Fatherhood Coalition has worked since 1994 for the natural right of fathers to equally parent their children. The guidance and positive influence provided by fathers to their children is indispensable.  Children in fatherless homes generally have lower self esteem and are more likely to drop out of school, engage in violence, have suicidal tendencies and have drug and alcohol substance abuse problems.

The Fatherhood Coalition welcomes the press and public for this historic Fathers' Day banner unveiling on June 12 at 2:30 p.m.
