This Father’s Day, three non-profits are partnering together for their first-ever Father’s Day Makeover event on Monday, June 10th, 2024, to honor veterans, single dads, and other deserving men. The Daisie Foundation (DF) empowers women and children in underserved communities. Since its founding in 2016, DF has dedicated its time to Milwaukee, Houston, and Chicago neighborhoods that need support, guidance, and love to better get through each day. Snips of Success (SP) provides professional grooming services to disadvantaged job-seekers to help them show up as their best selves. Daisie Project (DP) fosters opportunities to help underserved communities. Together, they provide a Father’s Day Makeover to celebrate and recognize fathers who are often uncelebrated and under-appreciated. This event is an opportunity to acknowledge these deserving men’s sacrifices and contributions to their families, communities, and country.
The Father’s Day event will offer pampering services like barber treatments, mini photoshoots, styling, and a special gift to honor deserving fathers. It will also feature a luncheon provided by Raising Canes and a “Men on the Move” panel, featuring prominent men sharing their experiences of fatherhood, career paths, successes, and challenges–all aiming to inspire and empower attendees. The Chicago Cubs will surprise the fathers to help make their Father’s Day special by providing free tickets to a game the next.
DF, SOS, and DP aim to work together to boost confidence, enhance self-esteem, and uplift the spirits of deserving fathers and men throughout Chicago.
The event’s sponsors include Old National Bank, Molina, Raising Canes, Meijer, Peer Beauty, Penske, Pin Me Up, Mane Space, Row 24, and Beautyhood.
