Over a hundred men and children came together to walk for a worthy cause last weekend, as the #NoDadLeftBehind “March of Dads Tour” made its fourth stop in Atlanta.
The team joined The Dad Gang, in partnership with Walmart, to continue its mission to amplify Black fatherhood, as a means of empowering and uniting active Black men, while debunking “negative stereotypes” attached to Black fathers.
