A night of joy and transformation: celebrating our latest 24-7 Dad graduates

The room buzzed with anticipation last night at SpoFI HQ as families gathered for a particularly special graduation ceremony. Just days before Christmas, our newest class of 24-7 Dad program participants celebrated not just course completion, but profound life transformation.

Building bonds that last

“Every class I learn something new to implement in my fathering style and life overall,” shared Logan Wiedemeyer, holding his certificate while his young son beamed proudly beside him. This sentiment echoes throughout our community of fathers who have discovered that becoming the dad their children need is a journey best taken together.

The evening was filled with touching moments: D’Andre cradling his baby girl while accepting his diploma, Matthew sharing how the program helped him “communicate better and express feelings in a healthy way.”

More than just classmates — a brotherhood

What began as a parenting class has evolved into something more profound. These men have become each other’s support system, celebrating victories and working through challenges together. The graduation ceremony, complete with holiday festivities, highlighted how this community of fathers strengthens one another.
