Dad + Child Game Day Experience
Creating meaningful, lasting memories by helping a deserving dad and child attend their first game together — or helping a dad experience his first game ever.
How the experience works
DFIO works with trusted nonprofit and community partners to identify deserving dads and children in a fair, thoughtful, and community-aligned way.
🏈 The Purpose
The goal is simple: strengthen the bond between fathers and their children through a shared experience they may not otherwise have access to.
👨👧 Who It Supports
- A dad attending his first game ever
- Or a dad attending his first game with his child
- Selected with help from local nonprofit partners
What the experience may include
Each experience may vary based on donated tickets, sponsorship support, and available in-kind contributions.
🎟️ Game Tickets
Tickets may be donated by fans, season ticket holders, local businesses, or purchased by DFIO when funds allow.
🚗 Parking
When possible, the experience may include parking support to reduce out-of-pocket costs for the family.
🍔 Food & Drinks
Support may also help cover basic food and beverages so the family can enjoy the full game day experience.
🎁 Keepsake Items
If available, the experience may include optional team or DFIO-branded keepsake items to help the family remember the day.
If donated tickets or available funds allow, the experience may include more than two tickets so additional children can attend.
