Bill > HR0129

This resolution formally designates June 9-15, 2025, as Dad Week in Michigan, recognizing the critical importance of fathers in child development, family stability, and community success. The resolution highlights research showing that children with engaged fathers are more likely to succeed academically and socially, and less likely to face challenges like poverty and incarceration. It specifically acknowledges the Present Pillars Foundation, a Benton Harbor-based organization that advocates for responsible fatherhood and family strengthening, which launched Dad Week to celebrate fathers through events like service projects, workshops, and community celebrations. By officially declaring this week, the Michigan House of Representatives aims to honor fathers' contributions, encourage community support for fathers, and elevate the essential role fathers play in nurturing and supporting their families and communities.
