Millions more have dads who are physically present, but emotionally absent. If it were classified as a disease, fatherless would be an epidemic worthy of attention as a national emergency.

CoolxDad + Faherty: Featuring Carlos Carrillo
"I think CoolxDad is an amazing concept and needed now more than ever. Most men tend to forget the importance of community and brotherhood. CoolxDad is providing a place for men to learn and grow together in fatherhood. To learn from each other’s examples. Fatherhood is the most important work that we as men will ever have to do. The more positive reinforcement, the better."
