DALLAS FATHER OF THE YEAR AWARDS LUNCHEON, INC.

A nonprofit organization

The Father of the Year Awards was founded in 1976 by Sylvan Landau, former executive vice president of the Dallas Market Center to honor fathers who exemplify fatherhood values in their own homes and who are leaders in the community. For over 40 years, we have continued this tradition by raising over $4 million benefiting over 86 local children's charities and scholarships. The Sylvan Landau Founder's Scholarship Award was established in 2010 by a seed grant from the Dallas Market Center to honor Sylvan and his lifetime of helping children, families and others in need in our community. Though we miss our founder, mentor and dear friend, Sylvan Landau who passed away on May 9, 2010 at the age of 85, we cherish knowing that the legacy he leaves as a father to his family through the Father of the Year Awards, numerous charities he has nurtured, and profound impact on the apparel industry, will be long enduring.

Our Needs

Each year, the Father of the Year Honorees select a children's charity or scholarship as a beneficiary in addition to the two college scholarships that are presented annually. This year an impressive trifecta of fathers will join the legendary group of fathers that have preceded them; Don Carty, Ron Gafford, and Michael Meadows. These three dads have selected St. Philips School and Community Center, Interfaith Family Services, and Momentous Institute as this year's three nonprofits that will benefit from their kindness as well as The Father of the Year Scholarship Fund and the Sylvan Landau Founders Scholarship managed in partnership with the Communities Foundation of Texas.

Mission

The Father of the Year Awards' mission is simple. Honor fathers and raise funds for charities benefiting children and families. The Father of the Year Awards is a 501 (c)(3) charitable organization governed by a volunteer committee comprised of business leaders from various professions throughout the Metroplex. Its mission is to honor fathers who exemplify fatherhood values in their own homes and who are leaders in the community. In addition, we raise funds for local charities and scholarships benefiting children in the Metroplex. Each contribution we receive makes a difference in local children's lives of tomorrow.
