Seasonal Events

The Fathers Club at MBA is proud to host a variety of events throughout the year that bring fathers and sons together, celebrate community, and support the school. From time-honored traditions to friendly competitions, these gatherings are a meaningful way to connect with your son, fellow fathers, and the broader MBA family.

Fathers Club Kickoff Breakfast

Each year before the first home football game, we gather for the Kickoff Breakfast. It’s a great way to meet new dads, share a hearty meal, and hear from Head of School Dr. Daughtrey and Head Football Coach Chris Chauvin as they get us ready for the school year and season ahead.

Father/Son Dinner

The highlight of the Fathers Club calendar, the Father/Son Dinner is an evening filled with tradition, laughter, and reflection. Enjoy a barbecue dinner, student musical performances, and senior toasts (or roasts!) honoring their fathers. The evening also includes the installation of next year’s Fathers Club officers and a featured keynote speaker.
