Sad Dads Club Info

I have had many residents inquire about what the MISS Foundation or Sad Dads Club..This is a organization very close to my heart and have been affiliated with since 2002



Many have asked what is the 'Sad Dad's Club'
The Sad Dads Club Story
This is a group of Dads who also unfortunately have lost a child. This is a great dads group, in a different setting than that of the past.
This is just a Group of Dads who has found a different way to talk, console, and laugh. Yes laugh in a lighter arena, and yet support each other fully. And I wanted people to be clear on this project.
I don't have to tell you about the pain we have all experienced in the loss of our children, yet one thing that has drawn me to the MISS Foundation is the support, the honesty, the candor and the positive thinking. We all want our children back. That is our only wish.
Yet, this 'club' was organized after NBC12 Phoenix did a report on a group of Dads who have experienced the loss of their child. It aired for Father’s Day 2013 and was dubbed the Sad Dads Club by NBC Reporter Kevin Kennedy, It was hosted by Barry Kluger, along with Michael Sansone and Barry Adkins at Morton's in Scottsdale (see tv interview below)
We were Struck by the fact that amidst the tears. Very hard tears. There were light moments as well.
Somehow, we find glimpses, however short, of what we have lost but what we may have.
