TAMPA, Fla. (BLOOM) — Thaddeus Bullard, known to WWE fans as Titus O’Neil, will host “The Gathering: A Celebration of Superstar Dads” on Father’s Day, June 16. The event, presented by TampaWell activated by Tampa General Hospital, aims to honor fathers and father figures in the Tampa Bay area.

The free celebration will take place at the MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre in Tampa. Doors will open at 9:01 a.m., and the event will run from 10:01 a.m. to 2:01 p.m. The unusual “01” start and end times symbolize Bullard’s commitment to unity and positive community change.

“As a proud father of three children, I can say that being a dad is the greatest title that I will ever possess as a man,” Bullard said. “Although I’ve never met my biological father, I’ve had great father figures and mentors in my life, and this year I wanted to put on an event that celebrates men who serve as fathers and mentors.”

The celebration, hosted in partnership with Revealing Truth Ministries, promises a day of entertainment and recognition for the often-unsung heroes of the community. Attendees will enjoy a variety of activities, including a Father’s Day tailgate presented by Love, Tito’s, the charitable arm of Tito’s Vodka.

“Thaddeus Bullard has been an amazing partner in the past supporting the health and wellness of our community,” said Kim Christine, Administrator of Community Health and Wellness for Tampa General Hospital. “We are proud to partner with him and his foundation again to celebrate these everyday heroes in an extra special way.”

TampaWell activated by Tampa General Hospital will provide first aid, sunscreen, and health education resources, including men’s health information. Families attending the event will also have the opportunity to pre-order Bullard’s new book, “Wrestling with Fatherhood,” which launches the week of June 16.

The event is supported by Heritage Insurance, The Fran Haasch Law Group, Gries Investment Funds, and the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office. Local celebrities, sports figures, and other special guests are expected to attend.

Registration for this free event is required and includes food, entertainment, games, and community resources. Early registration is encouraged for preferred seating. To register, visit https://tinyurl.com/BFFDads2024.
