Founded by Family First, the All Pro Dad fatherhood program helps to educate fathers on the best ways to become an "All Pro Dad." Fathers are encouraged to bring their children to the event, where they will learn fatherhood tips and participate in special activities with their kids, while rotating through football-themed learning stations which will be located in the Coca-Cola Great Hall.
"Thousands of men in Pittsburgh and around the world are becoming better husbands and fathers by joining our All Pro Dad team," said Tomlin. "To become an All Pro Dad, we encourage men to spend one minute a day reading our free daily email, The Play of the Day, one hour a month participating in an All Pro Dad's Day breakfast, and one day a year taking part in our All Pro Dad Father and Kids Experience."
"Thrivent Financial for Lutherans is a huge fan of All Pro Dad, and we are excited to team-up with the Steelers to sponsor this event that helps build stronger relationships between dads and their kids," said Andy Barthel, Manager of Lutheran Community Services.
