Super Parent Day (SPD) is an annual celebration that culminates in a day filled with family fun, performances, and community resources. This special day was created to honor and uplift “Super Parents” everywhere. But what exactly is a Super Parent?

A Super Parent is commonly known as a “single parent”—someone who takes on the primary responsibility of raising their child, with or without support from a co-parent. Although their journey is often marked by challenges, Super Parents are resilient, reject defeat, engage with and invest in their communities, and raise their children with grace and dignity. To simply call them “single parents” fails to capture the full depth of their strength and is void of the respect they truly deserve.

In 2012, Kim Stephens declared, “I am not Dad, but you can call me a Super Parent,” inspiring a group of committed parents to come together and form the SPD team. Their mission was to establish an annual event that gives Super Parents the recognition and reverence they rightfully deserve. The goal of Super Parent Day is not only to celebrate these everyday heroes but also to create a supportive environment where families can access vital resources while enjoying a day of entertainment and empowerment.

Each year, the event features vendor booths offering services and information, Super Parent Awards presented by Congressman Ami Bera and other elected officials, performances by local community groups, and a variety of recreational activities that promote physical activity and healthy living for both parents and children.

That’s why we say:
💐 May is for Mother’s Day
👔 June is for Father’s Day
👑 JULY — the third Saturday — is Super Parent Day
A day dedicated to celebrating single-parent homes and the superheroes within them.

Super Parent Day is sponsored by The Stephens Foundation, a nonprofit organization that collaborates with local businesses and organizations, creates original programs, and hosts community events to expand access to critical resources for families. We are proud to celebrate and honor both family and community.

It’s a Super Parent Day CELEBRATION — All are WELCOME!
