The voters have spoken, and Gary Turner is 2017 Father of the Year at Fathers Support Center. Turner got word on Tuesday, May 23, from his facilitator, Willie Streeter, that he had won the honor and that he will be receiving celebrity treatment.
Turner will be the subject of a feature video, will throw out the first pitch at the June 14 St. Louis Cardinals game, and will receive free services from SuperCuts for himself and his family over the next year.Â
Turner’s video debuts at the 2017 A Toast To Fathers Annual Dinner on 5:30 to 9 p.m. Thursday, June 15 at Windows on Washington, where he and his family will be recognized in an official presentation. The dinner is an important way for the center to educate the community about its impact, recognize accomplishments and provide an important source of income. The center is nearly at 70 percent of its $185,000 fundraising goal.
