The Magnolia Project
Jacksonville, FL.
Third Annual Father’s Day Event
The Magnolia Project received a mini grant from the National Healthy Start Association Dads Matter Initiative to teach men childrearing skills, as studies show child health drastically improves when an involved father learns about safe sleep, proper car seat installment, breastfeeding importance and more. Teams compete for a trophies in parenting events, but the most important win is quality time spent between a dad, his family and community.
