Marriage Month
Marriage is a powerful creator and sustainer of human and social capital for adults as well as children, and is important to promoting the health, wealth, and well-being of adults and communities. We honor and commemorate the importance of marriage by hosting community events that pay tribute to couples who have learned how to love well. We tell their stories through commemorative events, storytelling, movie screenings, special weekend marriage retreats and recognitions that focus on what makes marriage good and sacred.

Champions in Our Midst
“Champions in our Midst” is Anthem Strong Families’ awards luncheon honoring individuals, businesses and corporations that have chosen to be the champion for their families, constituents and employees. The honorees are members of the Dallas/Fort Worth community who are transforming lives, fashioning innovative family friendly policies and providing vision and courageous leadership to help families soar.
THE DALLAS REGIONAL FAMILY AND FATHERHOOD SUMMIT
Anthem Strong Families, National Responsible Fatherhood Clearing House, and the Center for Urban Families brought together national, regional and local leaders to examine “the grip of fatherlessness on our future.” Experts discussed the force-multiplier of fatherlessness and how it affects all aspects of society like teenage pregnancy, the high school dropout rate, drug abuse, domestic violence and other social indicators.
