“I love Tallatoona's Fatherhood program! It's helped me become a better dad with resources like parent trainings and activities at the school. Tallatoona's fatherhood program is the best and I'm proud to be a Tallatoona Dad!"
— Denzel Bell, 2023 Tallatoona Dad of the Year
"I appreciate the fatherhood program because it not only encourages fathers to engage in their children's lives, but also gives those children who don't have support some father figures to look to."
— Joey Seale, 2024 Tallatoona Dad of the Year

“What impressed me most was how much John genuinely cares about helping fathers. He gave me the knowledge I needed to advocate for my child and make good, sound decisions. His guidance has made a lasting impact on both my life and my son’s future.”

— Simeon Brathwaite, 2026 Tallatoona Dad of the Year
“One of the very few people I could count on was Mr. John. He used every resource at his disposal to inform me, guide me, and help me provide what was best for my son.
Even after my son left the school district, John still made the time to show up for one of my final custody hearings. Today, I’m proud to say I’m a full-time father and primary custodian of my 5-year-old son. Thank you for your commitment to fathers who are fighting simply to be fathers.”
— A. Williams, Dad & Primary Custodian
