The 21st Annual Platinum Dads Celebration, held on June 5, 2026, at the Trenton County Club, was an inspiring evening honoring five extraordinary fathers, mentors, and community leaders. Congratulations to this year’s honorees:

Peter Bullock, Founder, Hey Black Dad

Vonzell Kelley, TFCNJ Participant

Dr. Glenn Lang, Higher Education Consultant

Carlos Paz, Owner, New Life Driving School

Dr. James Rodriguez, President and CEO, Fathers and Families Coalition of America

Each year, the Father Center of New Jersey brings together supporters, partners, program participants, and friends to recognize men whose leadership, compassion, and commitment exemplify the values at the heart of our mission. 

The annual fundraising event is a reflection of the strength of a community united around a common goal: to empower fathers to build brighter futures for their children.
