Why this night matters

SpoFI exists to restore the value of fatherhood so that every child has a present, loving, and nurturing father.

Every week, dads walk through our doors carrying regret, fear, court pressure, relationship wounds, and the deep desire to be better for their children. Through evidence-based fatherhood classes, mentoring, practical tools, and a community of other dads, they begin to rebuild trust, strengthen families, and change the legacy their children inherit.

Building Legacy is more than a dinner. It is an invitation to stand with fathers who are doing the hard work of showing up.

This year’s theme

Restoring the Value of Fatherhood

This year, we will hear the story of fatherhood’s impact through voices who know what is lost when fathers are absent and what changes when fathers become present, equipped, and engaged.

The evening will include dinner, stories of transformation, sponsor recognition, table giving opportunities, and a dessert dash.
