Teeing Up for Fatherhood: Join Us for the 14th Annual Golf “Fore” Fathers

There’s something special about a summer morning on the golf course.

The smell of fresh-cut grass. The quiet anticipation before the first swing. The camaraderie of friends gathered not just for competition—but for connection.

On Friday, August 14, that connection will mean something even more powerful.

Care Net of Northern Kentucky invites you to be part of our 14th Annual Golf “Fore” Fathers at the beautiful Aston Oaks Golf Club in North Bend, Ohio. While golfers will enjoy 18 scenic holes, great food, raffles, and fellowship, the real impact of this day reaches far beyond the fairway.

Because the true winners of Golf “Fore” Fathers are the dads.


Why Fathers Matter

At Care Net of Northern Kentucky, we walk alongside women facing unplanned pregnancies every day. But we know something equally important: when fathers are equipped, encouraged, and engaged, families grow stronger.

In a culture that too often dismisses or diminishes the role of fathers, we believe dads matter—deeply.

Young fathers frequently tell us:

  • “I didn’t have a dad growing up.”
  • “I don’t know how to be a good father.”
  • “I want to do better for my child.”

Through our Fatherhood and parenting classes, men gain practical tools, biblical encouragement, and the confidence they need to lead their families well. They learn about:

  • Healthy relationships
  • Financial responsibility
  • Child development
  • Co-parenting skills
  • Spiritual leadership

They find mentors. They build friendships. They discover that showing up consistently matters more than being perfect.

And it’s events like Golf “Fore” Fathers that make these life-changing classes possible.

All proceeds from the outing directly fund our Fatherhood Program and other parenting education classes.

When you register to play, sponsor, donate, or contribute a raffle item, you are investing in generational change.

More Than a Game

It’s easy to think of a golf outing as just a fundraiser. But Golf “Fore” Fathers is more than that.

It’s a visible reminder that our community believes fathers are essential.

When a young dad attends his first parenting class at Care Net, he may walk in unsure and hesitant. By the end of the program, we often see something remarkable: shoulders squared, confidence rising, purpose awakening.

He begins to understand:

  • His presence matters.
  • His words shape his child’s identity.
  • His leadership influences generations.

Strong fathers contribute to:

  • Healthier relationships
  • Greater financial stability
  • Improved outcomes for children
  • Stronger marriages and co-parenting partnerships

Every swing taken on August 14 echoes into homes throughout Northern Kentucky.
