The event honored American Eagle Outfitters chief Jay Schottenstein, weather anchor Dave Price and Ohio State football coach Ryan Day.
Mark Shriver, emcee and special adviser to the CEO of Save the Children introduced Jason Nalls Sr., a truck driver and father of four from Newnam, Georgia, who won the Ashok C. Sani All-Star Dad award. His 12-year-old daughter read the essay that wooed the judges and outlined how, as a deacon of his local church, a mentor to student athletes and a volunteer at a local cancer institute that spearheaded the saving of a local community center, he epitomizes strength and service.
Next up was Price, who said it would be impossible to be a father of the year without a mother of the year, a role model like his own dad who wasn’t perfect but would strive to be a little better every day, and his two children. The event wrapped up with the award to Day, whose son Ryan Jr., or RJ, was proudly videotaping his father’s speech on his phone from the back of the room, where he was seated with his two sisters. Day said he was honored to be a part of an event that imparted positivity and recognized people who have an impact on other people’s lives.
