The Daisie Foundation, in collaboration with Snips of Success and the Daisie Project, proudly hosted the Father’s Day Makeover Experience on Monday, June 9, 2025, at ROW 24 in Chicago.
This powerful day honored Veteran Dads, Single Fathers, and fathers navigating medical and life challenges with full head-to-toe makeovers, inspiration, and community recognition. Fathers were celebrated through professional grooming, wardrobe styling, and moments designed to uplift and affirm their importance.
A highlight of the day was the Men on the Move Panel, moderated by ABC 7 Chicago Anchor Jasmine Minor, who led a thoughtful and engaging conversation on fatherhood, mental health, leadership, and resilience. The panel featured an incredible lineup of leaders who shared personal insights and empowered the audience through their authenticity and lived experiences.
Featured Panelists:
- Carlin Morse – Commander, Chicago Police Department
- Dr. Steven Garzon, MD – Pathologist & Residency Program Director, UI Health, University of Illinois Hospital
- Jesse (Kirby) Perez – Founder, Artisan Theory Salon & Artisan Theory Barbershop; National Educator
- Ronnie (Ron) Giles Sr. – Banking Center Manager AVP, Old National Bank
