[Dove Men+Care](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wedding-campaign) has launched an initiative titled 'Care Makes a Dad' to highlight the often-overlooked heroes of Father's Day. This campaign focuses on the true stories of children across the nation and the deep bonds they share with their father figures.

Among those spotlighted in the campaign is professional basketball player Nah'Shon Lee "Bones" Hyland, who has been instrumental in raising his cousin Izzy.

The 'Care Makes a Dad' campaign also features several engaging components beyond the main video. This includes a 'Celebrate All Father Figures' sweepstakes, providing participants the opportunity to be featured in a post-Father's Day advertisement in the New York [Times](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nyt-audio). Additionally, a Celebrate All Father Figures pop-up event will take place in New York City on June 14.
