Something exciting is brewing at SpoFI, and we’re inviting our entire community to be part of it. This Giving Tuesday, we’re turning father transformation into a friendly competition—with real prizes, serious bragging rights, and life-changing impact.
The Challenge: Four Teams, One Mission
We’re assembling four powerhouse teams to champion fatherhood and compete for glory:
- Alumni: Our graduates who’ve lived the transformation
- Staff: Our dedicated program leaders + team
- Teachers: Our passionate program facilitators
- Volunteer: Our amazing community supporters

Why Teams? Because Transformation is a Team Sport
Every day at SpoFI, we witness the power of community in transforming fathers’ lives. This Giving Tuesday, we’re harnessing that same energy to help more dads find their way home to their families.
The Stakes Are High (And So Are The Prizes! 🏆)
- Winning Team: Exclusive celebration dinner with our Executive Director
- Top Individual Fundraiser: $250 cash prize
- Most Monthly Donors: Another $250 cash prize
- Best Team Name: Year-long bragging rights (priceless!)
The Impact is Real
Every $37.50 provides one hour of transformative dad training. Each team is aiming to raise $5,000—enough to help multiple fathers start their journey home to their families.
