Yvette and I see eye-to-eye about changing the world.  I wanted to share the Crusade of RMC with you so that you will see the greatness and the great vision that we as a community can embrace and manifest.

The Crusade

Real Men Charities, Inc. presents Real Men Cook events, launched Father’s Day 1990, as a national crusade to positively change the way the world views men in relationship to their family and community. The crusade includes events, which take place all on the same day, Father’s Day; in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, Houston, Miami, Los Angeles, New Orleans, New York, Philadelphia and Washington, DC.

The Crusaders

The Reality

Can an event change the world? Day by day, year by year, first by claiming Father’s Day in major cities and with national media attention, myths are destroyed, hope is restored, perspectives repositioned, appreciation is expressed, examples are magnified, young men strive to be real men and mature men stand up to be counted; families, no matter the configuration, begin to celebrate themselves and those who try to make a difference. Women love it.

No Child is Left Behind

No child need feel empty on Father’s Day. Families attend the event and women are the number one purchasers of event tickets. Entire families celebrate beyond the biological father, and grandfathers, brothers, coaches and teachers. Reflection is placed on real men past or present. Children are celebrated, activities are planned for them and during the campaign, they benefit by the positive images, messages and role models, who happen to be every day men making a difference.

The Beneficiaries

Beyond charity partners, Real Men Cook® is the event women love to attend, but the positive spirit lasts far beyond Father’s Day. They, their children, and in many cases male guests, enjoy the great food the celebration and the family reunion spirit of the event. The community benefits by experiencing many positive examples of men whom have given up Father’s Day pampering to contribute to a day that has more value because of Real Men Cook®. After Father’s Day Real Men Charities, Inc is a positive force in the community, providing Real Men as volunteers.

Fellow non-profits are willing to work in partnership as we endeavor to change the world, benefiting through active involvement and an initial financial and manpower commitment. In exchange, publicity worth a million dollars in value is enjoyed, thus the non-profit’s value is strengthened and they are better positioned for success throughout the year.

Health and Wellness

Real Men Charities, Inc, events focus on health screenings and programs, mainly Real Men Cook with Kids, Health Forums, Real Men Talking, Youth World AIDS Day programming and Real Men Read programs. Campaigns and programs include healthy families and healthy living. Real Men Cook Health & Wellness Pavilions are an integral part of Real Men Cook events in each city on Father’s Day.

The family, no matter the configuration, is acknowledged as invaluable to our communities. Children, women and all men involved whether as guests or the cooks, are able to enjoy Father’s Day first and meaningful involvement by real men throughout the year, thanks to Real Men Cook and Real Men Charities, Inc. Each individual and participating partner becomes more valued as a result.
