COLUMBUS—Center for Christian Virtue (CCV) is joining a press conference tomorrow at the Ohio Statehouse to celebrate the Ohio Senate's inclusion of funding for the Responsible Fatherhood Initiative in its draft state budget.
"The decline of marriage and rise of fatherlessness in homes are at the root of most of the challenges Ohio is facing today," said Aaron Baer, President of Center for Christian Virtue.

President McColley's has led the state Senate to make a historic investment in fighting this crisis."
