Victor Dillard – Father

“Anybody can be a daddy, but to be a father you need to spend time. You need to show them that you love them and you care and you need to show them how to be a man...”

Christopher Hamilton - Son The best part of the Adventure was the honoring your parents’ talk. It helped me come closer to my dad and helped me learn to appreciate him.

	J.C. Crenshaw - Father …words can’t explain it. I have never in my life experienced anything like this. No greater moment other than seeing my children born have I ever had in my life such as this one and I’m going to make it my business to be back here again.”

Chris Sams – Father/Mentor

“You know the kids come here to get fed and help and mentored, but it works for the adults too as long as you are open to it. It helped me out a lot. This little kid comes up to me from out of nowhere, I watched him walking through the line, he comes straight up to me and tells me to come down and I lean down towards him and he gives me a hug and he says, ‘It will be alright man, just say what’s on your heart.’ I lost it...”

Jeremiah Hay – Mentor

“I grew up in a fatherless home so I never had any interaction with my father when I was growing up. It’s something that every city needs to have there’s so many children out there that don’t have a father or their father may be home and may be living with them but he’s really not a father to them because he doesn’t have no time for them. Someone can just spend a weekend of undivided attention with him I believe it will really change the young man’s heart and life. It’s the most incredible thing I’ve ever hear of or been a part of, I think it’s wonderful.”

Jeremy Smith, - Son “I was very happy because my dad usually isn’t there all the time with me and it felt very good that he was there with us.”

	Bill Colley - Father It made me realize there is nothing more important than family.

Bryce Klaput - Father/Volunteer

“Personally because of my own experiences with a son that lives in Maryland (with his mother), an understanding for a son and a father to have each other and not just saying for a son to have a father, but for the father to have the son, also.”
