A Father’s Place (AFP) is hosting its December 2025 Gradu-Up-Tion Celebration on Thursday, Dec.11, 6:30 p.m. at Royal Missionary Baptist Church. Reverend Dr. Marion Platt of Star Gospel Mission will be their guest speaker. This year, 41 participants – men and women – who have completed AFP’s 24-week fatherhood program will be graduating.
“I strongly believe that every child deserves to have a loving, involved, and responsible father,” said Wallace Evans Jr., CEO of A Father’s Place. “Every year, I look forward to honoring our fathers for doing the work to better their families. For some, this is their very first graduation ceremony. When men finish our program, they leave with the knowledge, confidence, and skills to be engaged, responsible fathers and co-parents. Our participants don’t graduate out, they ‘gradu-up!’”
Every six months, AFP’s Gradu-Up-Tion Ceremony is an opportunity to celebrate the work and dedication of each participant, recognizing their commitment to become better fathers. A Father’s Place is proud to host this event and will continue to support these fathers in their journey toward becoming engaged and responsible parents.
Dinner will be served at 6:30 followed by a program. To celebrate the dedication and work that each of the participants put into their journey to be better fathers, they will be presented with completion certificates.
