Fort Myers, FL – April 22, 2025 – The Children’s Advocacy Center of Southwest Florida invites the media to experience a heartwarming and highly visual community event that’s redefining the way we think about fatherhood.

“This isn’t just about hair—it’s about showing up, being present, and making memories that last a lifetime,” says JJ Wheeler, Director of Prevention Services and founder of Level Up Dads. “We’re creating confident dads and happy kids—one braid at a time.”
