Milwaukee Recreation has partnered with the Milwaukee Fatherhood Initiative and the Social Development Commission (SDC) to host the annual Daddy/Daughter Dance at North Division Community Center, 1011 W. Center St., on Saturday, February 15 from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. The night will include dancing, food, gifts, and a live DJ. Fathers and daughters of all ages are welcome to attend.
“We are so proud of how this event has grown over the years and what it has done to strengthen relationships between fathers and their daughters,” says Lynn A. Greb, Milwaukee Recreation’s senior director. “Celebrating the 17th anniversary of the Daddy Daughter Dance is a testament to the value events like this hold in our community. We also encourage grandfathers, uncles, and other adult males who are father figures to sign up with the special little ladies in their lives.”
