Yesterday, we presented a giant check to our amazing charity partner, Father's Club, whose dad-led mission inspires positive change by empowering dads to be intentional with their kids, other dads, and their community. ?? Father’s Club played a huge part in this milestone, championing their mission the day of the event and rallying everyone to make an impact. Thanks to our members, sponsors, players, and Father’s Club themselves, we raised more funds than ever before to support their vital work.
