Good day, SayPro family, esteemed guests, colleagues, and most importantly, the fathers and father figures we are gathered here to honour today,
As the Deputy Treasurer of the SayPro Royal Committee, it is my great pleasure to stand before you on this special occasion – Father’s Day 2025. This is more than just a celebration; it is a tribute to those who have laid the foundations for our success, guided us through life’s challenges, and supported us even when no one was watching.
At SayPro, we work with numbers, budgets, and plans – all critical components of what we do. But today, we acknowledge something even more valuable: the emotional and moral investment that fathers make in their families and communities. That is an investment no calculator can measure and no spreadsheet can quantify.
Fathers are often the quiet providers, the firm but fair leaders, the dependable protectors. They are the ones who go without so that their families can have more. They teach us about discipline, about endurance, and about doing what is right, even when it’s hard.
In our SayPro community, many of the young people we serve draw strength from the fathers or father figures in their lives. And many others are uplifted by the presence of mentors, teachers, and leaders who have taken on that role with heart and humility. To all of you – we say, thank you.
We also acknowledge that not everyone’s journey with fatherhood has been easy. Some carry the absence of a father, while others walk the path of being a father under great pressure. Still, you rise, and still, you give. And that strength deserves to be honoured.
To every father within the SayPro family – staff, mentors, partners, and supporters – we want you to know your contributions matter deeply. Your presence, your guidance, and your sacrifices shape the lives of future generations.
On this Father’s Day 2025, let us celebrate your role not just in the household, but in the heart of society. You are not only fathers in title – you are leaders, providers, teachers, and protectors.
From all of us at SayPro and on behalf of the SayPro Royal Committee, I wish you peace, love, and pride on this special day.
Happy Father’s Day – you are appreciated, you are valued, and you are celebrated.
Thank you.
