Oscar Avila Great Dads Recipients

In this season of my life the most exciting part of being a dad is watching my kids grow in the things they love the most. It is exciting to see them love God and love each other. I love seeing them encourage each other and see them full of life. I love seeing my kids serving each other, serving at church, and listening to their goals.

Why Are Great Dads Important?

Decades of research and studies show that children with active fathers, or who have a father figure actively involved in their lives, have a significantly better chance of success in life. For this reason, the Men’s Legal Center announced their effort to honor fathers who stand out above the crowd with their “Great Dad” Award. Dads who go the extra mile, exemplify positive fatherly traits, not necessarily just to their children but to the community as well.

Fathers selected for the “Great Dad” Award will be featured on both the Men’s Legal Center website and on their social media Facebook and Google+ pages, as well as, receive a personal award plaque to commemorate this honor.

Awards are presented to Great Dads who deserve recognition for being:
    • Outstanding fathers
    • Great mentors, and
    • Excellent role models for the community!

“As a society, we cannot underestimate the importance of a father actively involved in the lives of his children,” said Senior Attorney Craig Candelore, “The abundance of research clearly shows that the ‘dad effect’ begins shortly after birth. Children with involved fathers are more emotionally secure and have more confidence… As they mature, they have higher IQs and show more self-direction than their peers who do not have actively involved fathers.”
