Support for Fathers: DADurday Legacy

DADurday Legacy, Inc. is a proud 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering fathers in Lawrence by providing opportunities to actively engage in parenting with confidence and responsibility. Thanks to the generous support of the City of Lawrence, which granted up to $10,000 in June 2023, we have been able to invest in families and strengthen father-child relationships. With $6,600 in reimbursement funds from the city, we’ve hosted impactful community events and established valuable partnerships with other local nonprofits, expanding our reach to fathers seeking guidance and support. Our success would not be possible without the city’s commitment to family-centered initiatives—so to the City of Lawrence, we extend our heartfelt thanks!

Every DADurday event is made possible by dedicated volunteers, ensuring that 100% of all funds go directly toward programs that enhance father-child relationships. Through our initiatives, fathers have found a safe space to share their experiences, learn about their parenting responsibilities, and develop meaningful connections with their children. Our programming has helped fathers reengage with their kids, communicate more effectively with co-parents, navigate the court system, and, in some cases, even gain primary custody of their children. Above all, our mission is to provide every child with a responsible, engaged, and loving father who serves as a mentor and role model.

Our events are completely free and designed to build fathers’ confidence and self-esteem, ensuring they can fully enjoy and embrace their role in their child’s life. Many fathers have expressed feeling isolated within their own homes and communities, and DADurday events have helped bridge that gap. Over the past 18 months, we’ve organized numerous events to bring fathers and children together for unforgettable experiences:
