Power of Parents Conference with Bill Cosby; Illinois Council on Responsible Fatherhood Supports the Conference

Contact: Angel Edmond, 312-807-3990, ext. 255

CHICAGO, Dec. 4 /Standard Newswire/ -- The Illinois Council on Responsible Fatherhood supports all the efforts and endeavors of the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) and Bill Cosby to reach out and hold the Fourth Annual Power of Parents Conference on Wednesday, Dec. 6 at McCormick Place Lakeside Center. The Council's Chair, Jeffery M. Leving urges all fathers, uncles, brothers, and male guardians to attend this informative conference with their students, which is being held only for males.

"The Chicago Public Schools Power of the Parents Conference is an excellent way for our society to see that men have not completely vanished from the educational and social landscape of our children's lives. Studies show that fatherless children are twice as likely to drop out of school, they consistently score lower than average in reading and math, and they are eleven times more likely to exhibit violent behavior," said Leving.

"Fathers do have an irreplaceable role in a child's life and I believe this event will empower men and boys in Chicago to learn and understand the importance of supporting each other," Leving said.
