Father's Day is this Sunday...Still need that perfect gift?

Every Father's Day, I honor the fathers in my life by making a donation on their behalf to the Family Violence Prevention Fund's Founding Fathers organization.  As a long time domestic violence advocate, I can't think of a better way to honor fathers than to provide support to an organization that gets men involved in preventing family violence.

Here is an announcement from the Fund that explains how you too can support this important effort:
Father's Day is this Sunday...Still need that perfect gift?
FVPF1.1945

Make Father's Day mean more this year.  Become a new Founding Father or honor a special man in your life by making a donation in his name in recognition for being the kind of man that is making the world a better and safe place for women and children.

This year, for every dollar you donate, the Ford Foundation will match it $1:$1. That's right! Your Father's Day gift or pledge will double with the Ford Foundation challenge - an unprecedented opportunity to truly invest in the future.

The 2007 Father's Day Declaration in the New York Times will feature a dynamic list of men including: Hall of Famer, Willie Mays; Entertainer, Bill Cosby; New York Yankees Manager, Joe Torre; and Journalist Tom Brokaw, among several hundred other men who are using Father's Day as a time to demonstrate their collective commitment to end violence against women and children.

It's not too late to join the effort and make a gift in honor of this Father's Day.  Donate now. 

Be sure to get a copy of the New York Times this Sunday, June 17th.  Happy Father's Day!
