For those wanting to honor their fathers in a more reflective way, a Father’s Day Remembrance Service will be held at 10 a.m. at Hillside Memorial Park and Mortuary. The service will be led by Rabbi Cantor Marcelo Gindlin of the Malibu Jewish Center and will be streamed at hillsidememorial.org/fathers-day.

Los Angeles Dodger players, along with their fathers and children, will have a special role in celebrating Father’s Day. They will participate in the ceremonial first pitch before the game against the San Francisco Giants and make the iconic “It’s time for Dodger baseball” announcement.
This year, Major League Baseball is using the occasion to raise awareness about prostate cancer. All on-field personnel in Sunday’s games will wear specially designed blue-themed caps and blue ribbon decals. Players also have the option to wear matching blue socks. Additionally, the bases at each stadium and the official dugout lineup cards will bear the blue ribbon. MLB will donate 100% of its royalties from on-field Father’s Day socks and caps to MLB Charities, which will then support the Prostate Cancer Foundation in its fight against the disease.
Father’s Day holds a special significance as a day to recognize the important role fathers play in shaping the next generation. In his Father’s Day proclamation, President Joe Biden emphasized the impact of responsible fatherhood and the values imparted by dads.
The holiday itself has an interesting history. It originated from Sonora Smart Dodd’s desire to honor her father, William Jackson Smart, a single parent who raised six children in Spokane, Washington. The first Father’s Day was celebrated in 1910 in Spokane on the third Sunday in June. The holiday gained national recognition when President Calvin Coolidge recommended it as a national holiday in 1924, and it was officially established as a holiday on the third Sunday in June by President Lyndon Johnson in 1966 and President Richard Nixon in 1972.
