For their first "Breakfast With Dads" event, administrators at a South Dallas middle school were looking for 50 to 100 male mentors to help.
But on Thursday morning, nearly 600 men arrived at Billy Earl Dade Middle School to volunteer at the gathering focused on Dade's male students. The crowd of volunteers came from diverse backgrounds, including dads from various parts of Dallas, men in local law enforcement, public officials and community organizers.
