 MAD DADS is an acronym for Men Against Destruction-Defending Against Drugs and Social-Disorder.
MAD DADS, INC. was founded in May of 1989 by a group of concerned Omaha, Nebraska parents who were fed up with gang violence and the unmolested flow of illegal drugs in their community. So, MAD DADS the not-for-profit organization was born. Click here for the list of our board of directors.
They present themselves as positive role models and concerned loving parents who are a visible presence in local neighborhoods, against the negative forces destroying children, families, neighborhoods, cities and ultimately our country.
?We started out of pain; the pain of our children dying in the streets of their own communities. We were -- and still are -- tired of looking into the eyes of hollow youth who lack hope, and who have ceased to dream. We realized that we could hold no one responsible for this but ourselves; we allowed it to happen. So we united as a handful of community fathers who now know that WE MUST BE THE FORCE BEHIND THE CHANGE!? John Foster, Robert Tyler, and Eddie Staton, May 1989.
