This Sunday at 5:30 p.m., the Fresh Start Community Program will host its inaugural Father’s Day Softball Game at Carver Baseball Field. The event promises refreshments for kids, special awards for every father in attendance, and a fun day in the park celebrating Father’s Day.
The event aims to shed a positive light on fathers and father figures, encouraging mentorship and community bonding. Mississippi has the highest percentage of biological fathers not living with their children, and this event seeks to highlight how fathers can positively impact the community. Join the celebration this Sunday at 1012 Garrad Avenue. Cash prizes will be given away, and participants must bring their own gloves.
