In 2019, the Fathers Making Progress Awards were dreamed up by our organization’s members to recognize individuals fathers and groups in the community that mirror Fathers Making Progress’ values of "building stronger cycles", "love and accountability, "never arriving," and who go above and beyond to make our community a better place. Nominations for the FMP Awards are open. The FMP Gala component was established as a primary fundraiser for Fathers Making Progress.

The gala will feature a silent auction with generous donations from our community partners, like artwork, trips, restaurant certificates, gift baskets, and more. We will feature several raffles for the evening. Raffle tickets may be purchased in advance or at the event.
ABOUT THE FATHERS MAKING PROGRESS AWARDS:
The FMP Awards program recognizes the good work of those everyday fathers who are making a difference in their families and our community. We have so many examples of those in our community who have stepped up and modeled Positive Fatherhood. This event spotlights the good work of those dads in our community who are making a difference in our community with a giving spirit that doesn’t ask in return.
Nominations are now open. Be sure to watch your email for our upcoming announcement of the award finalists.
