From the Organizer
Passages Connecting Fathers and Families is a nonprofit, community organization whose mission is to inspire and empower families to thrive. For more than 20 years, Passages has been helping fathers become better parents to their children, partners with their children’s mothers, and providers for their families.
All proceeds from the 5k For Fathers and Families benefit the fathers and families that we serve each day throughout Northeast Ohio by allowing us to continue to empower dads with the tools needed to rise above circumstance, remove barriers, and gain skills that change their lives, their children's lives, and the lives of their family; all free of charge.
