According to Keo, strengthening the bond between father and son is the main objective of First Down Dads.
"I'm a dad so I understand the importance of taking time away from my busy schedule and giving it back to my son," he said. "It's important for kids to know that parents, us as role models, we love our kids even though we get busy and tied up with jobs, business, jobs, meetings, social media—whatever is going on in our lives. We love our kids and we want to make time for them, and that's what this event is all about"
