EPIC has partnered with Fathers Incorporated, a non-profit organization with the mission of remedying the effect of father absence, for their 2011: Year of Responsible Men (YORM) campaign. Fathers Incorporated has proposed that the President declare 2011 the Year of Responsible Men. The goal of the campaign is to create partnerships and opportunities to assist in creating responsible fathers and mentors.

Fathers Incorporated is holding an awards dinner on January 14, 2011 at 6pm to celebrate the people and organizations who contribute to the advancement of fatherhood and mentoring. The theme for the event, "Ties Never Broken," refers to the tie or connection that can never be broken between the child and parent. The Anne E. Casey Foundation, National Fatherhood Leaders Group, John Amos, Brian Doyle, and Geoffrey Canada will be awarded at the dinner.
