How it works

  • RSVP in one tap

    Your link already knows who you are. No account, no password, no typing your email again.

  • Every event has a tier

    Bronze, silver or gold. The bigger the commitment, the more it is worth.

  • Points come from attending

    Not from signing up. Turning up is the whole thing.

  • Levels are automatic

    Nobody tallies anything. Your level moves the moment your attendance does.

Coming up

RSVP from the link in your newsletter.

Hear about events first

Events fill up. Sailing School was full in a day. Get the message before the list does.

Event announcements only. No newsletter, and nothing shared with anyone.

Questions dads ask

Do I have to bring my kids?

Not always. Each event says whether it is dads and kids or dads only, and your RSVP link only asks about kids when kids are coming.

What does it cost?

Nothing. Level Up! Dads is a free program of the Children’s Advocacy Center of SWFL.

How do points work?

You earn points by SHOWING UP, not by signing up. Every event is bronze, silver or gold, and attending it adds that event’s points to your total. Enough points and you level up.

What if I RSVP and cannot make it?

Tell us, so the spot goes to the next dad on the waitlist. No points either way - only attendance counts.

Can I bring a friend who is not in the program?

Have him apply. It takes a couple of minutes and JJ reads every application.
