Father's Day BBQ We're Firing Up the Grill for the Dads! Come out and celebrate with us! Enjoy delicious food hot off the grill, real conversations, and recognition for all you do. Music to vibe to and family fun for everyone! It’s a day to kick back, connect, and truly be celebrated.

With Spokane being the birthplace of Father's Day, it's important that we highlight and uplift Men of Color, especially African American men because of the negative stigmas placed on them regarding fatherhood. So, it has been and will continue to be our fight to eradicate that negative stereotype in Spokane.

This FREE special event is brought to you by Locked In Fathers Alliance in proud partnership with Inland Northwest Juneteenth Coalition, Event Venue and Catering by Blessings and Beyond, with heartfelt thanks to our fiscal sponsor The Shades of Motherhood Network.

RSVP ASAP and Bring the whole family, grab a plate, and make it a Father’s Day to remember!

The Pillar Awards  A BLACK CARPETED event that aims to acknowledge and celebrate those who help uplift the African-American community in Spokane. This FREE event was created to provide a night of entertainment and fellowship where we can praise, honor, and recognize the sacrifices and service that Individuals, Businesses, Non-Profit Organizations, and Churches/Religious Organizations have done for the black community in Spokane.
We also present a Heartwood Award to an elder of the African American community who has been a meaningful part of the community's foundation and identity. We chose the word "Heartwood" due to its definition:

The central supporting pillar of the tree.  It will not decay or lose strength while the outer layers are intact.  It is in many ways the strongest part of the tree.
As we celebrate Juneteenth, the night will be full of culture, education, community, and fun! RSVP and come help us celebrate and recognize PILLARS in the black community who have served and sacrificed their time, energy, and resources!
