Children’s Place Inc. encourages the public to leave notes of love and support for fathers every June on the sidewalks of Laurens Street, but this year the colorful chalk messages are shadowed by an overarching issue that has touched the lives of millions of people all over the world.

"We really appreciate the community," said Children's Place Executive Director Peggy Ford. "We wouldn't be here without this community. For Lionel Smith to Chalk it Up for Dads is real important to us, because mothers and fathers are really important in children's lives. To have this event that highlights fathers is really important."
