Dance With My Daddy Fundraiser

HONORS FATHER-DAUGHTER BOND

By Darrel Wheeler

The first inaugural Dance With My Daddy Dance and Fundraiser was held last Saturday evening at the Jackie Robinson YMCA. Daddy ’s little girls were able to slide, wobble, twirl and freestyle with the man they admire the most: Daddy. The fathers and daughters were entertained with music and some live performances.

Local organizations Leading Boys to Manhood (LB2M) and Giving Hands Foundation put the fundraiser into action to help the community honor the father-daughter bond, but also to help some of San Diego’s young men on their journey to manhood.

“We want to get this generation of youngsters, especially the urban youth in our community, more involved in life beyond computers and tiktok,” Toryon Dedmon, CEO of LB2M shared.

“ They dont go outside enough anymore. Our mission is to show them different experiences by sharing our time and knowledge,” Dedmon continued. And, of course, to honor the father-daughter bond last Saturday evening.
