GSPIC Names Dion Ford ‘Father Of The Year’

June 16, 2014

Gina Spence Productions in Christ [GSPIC] presented a Father’s Day event this past weekend, starting with the Father’s Day Proclamation read on the steps of City Hall on June 13 by Premier Michael Dunkley, and ‘We Love You Dad,’ a Father’s Day event held at the WillowBank Conference Center in Sandys.

Gina Spence said, “The highlight of the ‘We Love You Dad’ event was the naming of Dion Ford as the first GSP Father of the Year. The award came on the heels of a touching story written by Mr. Ford’s 7-year-old daughter Zariyah Daniels Ford that detailed her father’s love and commitment, even after nearly losing his life as the result of a bike accident on Father’s Day of 2011.”

“The event also included a fashion show that saw fathers modeling with their sons and a variety of story-telling songs and dance selections performed by father and children.

“Several awards were given to organizations that help and support men in the community, including Child Watch, Impact Mentoring Academy, Alpha Phi Alpha, Fathers Resource Center, Calling All Men, and Harbour Light Program.”

“The event was hosted by the Caines family, including Wayne Caines, Dwayne Caines, and Deshay Caines. Proceeds raised by the event will assist GSPIC’s “Champions Program” to assist children who have lost their fathers to gun violence with counselling, healthy food items, school uniforms, and educational scholarships.”
