Press Release Summary = DAUGHTERS GROWING UP WITHOUT FATHERS TAKE CENTER STAGE AT
ESTHER PRODUCTIONS, INC.
NATIONAL DAUGHTER-DADDY REUNION TOUR


Press Release Body =
An unprecedented movement to restore the sacred relationship between daughters and
dads, while arresting pronounced community problems returns to the District this
Fall. The National Daughter-Daddy Reunion Tour, the signature project of Esther
Productions, Inc. opens October 6 and 7, 2006 at the National City Christian Church,
5 Thomas Circle Northwest. The two-day event features specialized training
institutes for professionals and workshops for fatherless daughters. Dads interested
in reuniting with their daughters will also be given the tools and resources to
ensure a successful reconciliation.

The two-day launch is followed by a series of in-school lectures, monthly support
group and a campaign to create community reconciliation centers in faith-based and
other institutions.

The issue of father absence and how it affects daughters is rarely discussed in the
fatherhood movement. Esther Productions, Inc. has dedicated itself to changing that.
The National Daughter-Daddy Reunion Tour is the prime vehicle the organization uses
to increase public awareness about the important role fathers play in their
daughters lives, to assist daughters in identifying and reducing the negative
consequences of their absence; to instigate the reconciliation of daughters and
once-absent fathers; and to advocate for programs and funding to create
daughter-specific fatherhood programs.

Esther Productions, Inc., is a nonprofit, DC based organization founded in 2004 and
formally incorporated in 2005.

The National Daughter-Daddy Reunion Tour is funded in part by CIGNA Healthcare,
MedStar Health, The Summit Fund of Washington, and the DC Healthy Relationships and
Marriage Coalition in conjunction with the “Together is Better Campaign.”
Additional support is provided by Emerge, D.C., LLC, The National City Christian
Church, The Downtown Cluster of Congregations, DC Action for Children, and Friends
of the National Daughter-Daddy Reunion Tour.
