Help Someone Heal One Toss at a Time

Volunteer dads show up at Pride events to say: I see you. I support you. I respect you. I love you.

Pride Fest 2026
What We Do

A game of catch. A world of difference.

Play Catch With a Dad brings volunteer father figures to Pride events across the country to play catch with LGBTQ adults who lost paternal support when they came out.

“A lot of people have lost access to a father figure and that is particularly true in the LGBTQIA+ community, where people often face a broken family after they come out. A few minutes of playing catch is a way for these dads to say... I see you, I support you, I respect you, and I love you.”Tesla Taliaferro, Co-founder and board president of the Rainbow Rose Center
