* Fishing Lessons & Equipment Demos led by community facilitators Anthony Glover and Randall Wright
* Nature & Wellness Activities designed to strengthen family communication and mental well-being
* Special Presentation by O.B.F.C. (Our Black Fathers Committee) on the importance of bonding activities-like fishing-in building stronger parent-child relationships

Special thanks to the Arizona Game & Fish Department for their generous support, providing fishing equipment and on-site guidance so every family has a hands-on experience.

EMPOWERING FATHERS, STRENGTHENING FAMILIES
“Catch & Connect is about more than fishing-it’s about presence, patience, and purpose,” said James Sesay, Founder of the Single Fathers Network. “We want dads to have a space to slow down, breathe, and enjoy meaningful time with their children. That’s what real connection looks like.”
This event is part of SFN’s ongoing mission to empower fathers through legal, financial, parenting, and wellness programs that strengthen families and communities. Upcoming SFN workshops include ‘Girl Dad Style Connection,’ ‘Raising Resilient Children,’ and ‘Financial Fundamentals for Fathers.’
