Dads who show up for Lakewood

Since 1982, FOL has backed kids, teachers, and families with time, money, and muscle.

Friends of Lakewood (FOL) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

We’re not just dads—we’re the guys grilling at teacher lunches, building haunted houses, and camping under the stars with our kids. At FOL, showing up means pitching in, making memories, and backing Lakewood every day.

Show Up, Lend a Hand

Make Memories Together

From bowling to Top Golf, FOL leagues are about brotherhood, laughs, and a little competition.

Good Times, Great Cause
