f3TCh.org is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to helping children Rebuild and fortify strong loving bonds with their father.
Who is f3TCh and what do they do?
We are "fathers fighting for Their Children's hearts," and our primary goal is to strengthen bonds between children and their father. Globally there are over 350,000,000 children growing up in fatherless homes but in reality that number is largely misrepresented as fatherlessness comes in many different forms and even a dad living at home can be absent. Today’s dad needs to be more involved in their children’s lives than ever before. The tragic lie society has told for generations is that a father’s primary purpose in life is to provide an income to support the health, development, and success of their children. The truth is a father’s time and involvement in their children’s lives does far more for them than his money ever will. Decades ago, dads ended their workday with a warm meal around the table with their family. They had daily interactions with their kids and took time to teach life lessons that a majority of today’s kids will simply never learn. Around the world today, on average, 85% of any negative statistic impacting the lives of our youth can be directly attributed to the fact they simply didn’t have an active father in their lives.
While many organizations work to address the symptoms of fatherlessness, such as poverty, hunger, exploitation, and addictions… we aim to find the cure by helping and encouraging fathers to spend more time with their kids. We are working to end fatherlessness one child at a time! We do this by providing activities that are strategically designed to improve father and child engagement, fortify bonds, and create positive lifelong memories. We cover all the logistics, do all the work, provide most all of the equipment, and best of all we network and fundraise with all our heart to cover all the costs. Our events are always free, because you simply can’t put a price tag on the happiness of a child and the memories they create with their father. We couldn’t do this without the generosity of people like you, and we pray God Blesses your family tenfold for your contributions!
Help us grow!
CAMP f3TCh
Camp f3TCh is located at 106 Sinking Springs Road in Clinton, TN. It is a very small and modest 2 acres plot of land that we acquired to build infrastructure, have utilities, and our own place to better support the growth and success of our mission. It adjoins the same larger parcel of riverfront property we have borrowed since 2014 and also has direct access to a TWRA public boat launch. Every year we hold a 3-day camp featuring an 11-mile canoeing trip down the Clinch River over Father's Day Weekend, and while that event continues to grow in size, we are seeking support to complete our land development plan so we can hold multiple smaller events over throughout the year on our own property without imposing on the generosity of the family who owns the larger parcel of riverfront property. Once our land development plan is finalized, we will then be able to rent out our facilities to churches and other groups to help become self-supportive and start similar programs in other states.
