The Tucson chapter of the Father's Day Council was founded in 1994 with a two-fold mission: to support family values by honoring men in the community who have been exemplary fathers, and to raise money for juvenile diabetes research. Originally led by Steve Rosenberg and later by Richard and Stella Schaefer, the Father's Day Council has developed a dedicated following in Tucson. Every June, more than 500 individuals attend the annual Fathers of the Year Awards Ceremony . Proceeds from this event have helped the Steele Center establish a Comprehensive Program in Juvenile Diabetes offering the best clinical care available anywhere in the world, as well as a state-of-the art research center to develop new treatments for juvenile diabetes. Since its inception, the Father's Day Council has donated more than $1.5 million to diabetes research! |
