Auto giant Ford is sponsoring newsmaker panel discussions, moderated by Ed Gordon, across the country that will shine the spotlight on the importance of this special relationship. “Ford Motor Company has a 105 year history of educating people and building strong communities through our philanthropic efforts, said Jim Vella, president, Ford Motor Company Fund and Community Services. “Programs such as Daddy's Promise bring to light the many similarities,
goals and dreams we share as people. Through these discussions, families
will be better informed and even more empowered to contribute positively to
their lives and the lives of their children.”

Will Downing
In 2003, the song “Beautiful to Me” appeared on soul man Will Downing’s “Emotions” CD.
The tune was written for his daughter. Always positive, the singer wanted to lend his solidarity to our initiative.
He thought the song would be the perfect accompaniment to the project.
“With this song, I wanted to show the special feeling I and many fathers have for their daughters. Daddy’s Promise is doing the same and I wanted to give my support by way of song!”

John Holyfield
Renowned artist John Holyfield created our logo. He is one of today’s most gifted and prominent painters. Avid art collectors seek his admired works, including classics like “Blessings” and “Entertainers.” His unique work had gained him a legion of fans.
Last year McDonald’s commissioned the use of one of his recent works “Soul Clap” for a major advertising campaign.
Holyfield’s art is known for its warm feeling and the artist says that is what he wanted to capture in creating “Daddy’s Promise.”
“I wanted to show the warmth, love, strength and caring that is all part of a relationship between a father and his daughter.”
