Father-Son Fishing
“He got to take a whole day to himself and with his son to fish! They didn't have to worry about a day of wages lost and they fished all day! It was complete bliss for him! From our son: ‘I love having Dad home so we can do boy things without the girls. Fishing is fun and we get to relax and catch fish!’”
- Wife of DTO Winner, Jon B.
Road Trippin' with Dad
“I spent my day off traveling to Colorado with my daughter, Harley, to visit my sister for the first time. We made the most of it by skiing, snow tubing, and spending time at a water park so she could experience something new and exciting. The $500 DECKED grant helped cover the costs of these activities, which made it possible to fully enjoy the day without worrying about expenses. It felt incredibly special to step away from everything and create lasting memories with my daughter.”
- DTO Winner, Brandon H.
Finishing the Man Cave
“We took the day off and grabbed lunch with my son Brett, who nominated me for the prize. We found a local wings, burgers, and pizza spot and just enjoyed some good food and time together. With the $500 grant from DECKED, we went to Home Depot and picked up some of the latest Milwaukee PACKOUT™ gear for my man cave at home. It meant a lot to me—I felt honored, proud, and grateful to spend that time with my boy.”
- DTO Winner, Jon W.
