Friendship · Civic Life · Pub Nights

A group of dads in Dedham who actually show up for each other.

We share stories, hang out at our favorite pubs, take Town Meeting seriously, and pitch in when one of our kids is selling cookies or running a 5K. Every third Thursday, we open the door and welcome other dads who'd like a few real friendships at this stage of life.

Dedham Dads Trot. Do You?

Thanksgiving morning. 5K. For charity. Pie is mandatory after, optional during.

The Ripples of Hope Turkey Trot supports the Dedham Food Pantry and Dedham Youth Commission, and last year it raised over $45,000. Let's make the Dad team the one people talk about at the finish line, for good reasons this time.

Around Town

Dedham Dads aren't just a poker night — most of us are involved in the place we live. Town Meeting, civic boards, the small stuff that keeps a town running. We also tend to show up when one of our kids is fundraising for something.

Town Meeting & Local Politics

[PLACEHOLDER] Several of us serve on Town Meeting. We track the issues, we show up to the meetings, and we'll happily talk your ear off about an article you didn't think you cared about. If you're new to civic life in Dedham and want a low-pressure way in, ask any of us.

Sponsorships & Show-Ups

[PLACEHOLDER] Cookies. 5Ks. School auctions. Charity walks. When one of our kids needs the dads, the dads are an easy yes. It's not formal, it's not a foundation — it's just what friends do for each other's families.
