2025 CT Fatherhood Initiative (CFI) Dear Dad Tour (DDT)

WE ARE EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THE 2025 CFI DDT STOPS!!!

Good afternoon,

The four stops for the 2025 CT Fatherhood Initiative (CFI) Dear Dad Tour (DDT), which runs after Mother’s Day through the day before Father’s Day, have been confirmed!

The CFI DDT is the CFI’s annual public awareness campaign, in the form of a video booth that travels to different free, family-oriented community events across the state where people can share fatherhood stories to bring attention to the importance of fathers and the efforts of the CFI collaborative.

Check out the CFI website at https://portal.ct.gov/fatherhood to learn more about the CFI and the Dear Dad Tour, including videos from past tours https://deardadtour.org/

We ask you, as members of our statewide CFI network, to consider attending an event in your area – or even traveling to those events that are farther away – and stopping by the CFI DDT booth to share stories, see fellow CFI partners and talk with festival-goers about the work we are doing at the state and local levels in support of fathers and families.

These are the DDT’s 4 stops, expertly managed by the team at American View Productions:

Help spread the word by sharing with your colleagues, family, and friends, and join us in making this celebration one to remember!
