Talbert House Raises nearly $360,000 for Fathers

CINCINNATI – On June 6, over 250 community members gathered at Memorial Hall, raising nearly $360,000 to support Talbert House’s Fatherhood Project, a program assisting men in their efforts to be responsible, committed, and nurturing dads.

The event, presented by the Hatton Foundation, honored Courtis Fuller, Hall of Fame broadcast journalist and WLWT-TV news anchor, as Community Father of the Year. Fuller is a father to two daughters, Faith and Nicole Fuller. Additionally, Demon Meatchem was named Graduate Father of the Year. Meatchem, a 2018 Fatherhood Project graduate, is a father to three children, Ariana, Makala, and Malik Meatchem.

The Fatherhood Project helps dads strengthen their connection and involvement in the lives of their children by providing classes, co-parenting and individual coaching, and fellowship support meetings. For more information, visit talberthouse.org
