The two industry giants under one umbrella on the eve of Father\u2019s Day, organized an outdoor event dubbed; \u2018Father\u2019s Day Out\u2019. This event was to celebrate and congratulate fathers for their utmost devotion to their families and for always prioritizing them. <\/p>\n

Families participated in games and other sporting activities such as football, treasure hunts, arm wrestling, table tennis, cards, ludo, oware and checkers.<\/p>\n
Whilst these games were ongoing , HD+ and HappyFM had also set up a free medical screening section to run free tests on eye, general medical screening and an ailment which affects most men, prostate cancer. The free medical screening service was provided by Cedar Medical Plaza.<\/p>\n
A host of renowned TV and radio personalities doubled by celebrities turned up to support and participate in the \u2018Father\u2019s Day Out\u2019.

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of SES HD Plus Ghana had this to say; \u201cLast month we honored our mothers and today we are doing same for our fathers to acknowledge and celebrate the importance of fatherhood. Most people talk about how their fathers are disciplinarians and hard workers when asked to share fond memories of them. But we seek to change that. We want the Ghanaian to start saying thank you and love you daddy to their fathers as fatherhood is equally as important as motherhood.\u201d<\/p>\n
To him, the \u2018Father\u2019s Day Out\u2019 event will propel Father\u2019s Day and make it a celebration no one can ever forget or downplay anymore. <\/p>\n
Programmes Manager for Happy98.9FM, Elwoode Mantey, asserts the \u2018Father\u2019s Day Out\u2019 event will go down in history books as the event that institutionalized the celebration of fathers in a magnificent manner.
\u201cFathers are barely celebrated and we seek to change that. HD+ and HappyFM joined forces to make this Father\u2019s Day event grand and to let fathers know we have not forgotten about them and that we cherish them as much as we do mothers.\u201d<\/p>\n
He also used the opportunity to say thank you to sponsors, partners and all who turned up to make ‘Father’s Day Out’ a success.<\/p>\n
