The purpose of this award is to recognize men who have made their families a priority, while balancing demanding careers and community involvement. Every year, the Father’s Day Council in each city identifies honorees who meet the criteria to be nominated as a Father of the Year.

By honoring men who are community leaders, we draw attention to the event and further the council’s goal to heighten awareness of the importance of fatherhood. We hope you will join us in supporting the amazing gentlemen who will be honored at this year’s event: Clay Merrill and Nathan Cox. 

The men we honor understand the importance of giving back and supporting the community, so as honorees they also help sell tickets, tables and ads for the awards dinner, raising much-needed funds to help Stop Diabetes®.

Sharing this special evening with family, friends and other community leaders truly makes this a memorable night for everyone who attends. Not only does the event celebrate fatherhood and support the American Diabetes Association’s important work, it also offers a great opportunity to connect with other well-respected, local business leaders.
