Springville father Christopher Williams is competing in the semifinals of the Children’s Miracle Network’s Super Dad competition, according to a November 4 report. The competition is an initiative designed to raise funds for the nonprofit organization that supports local children’s hospitals.
Williams, a father of five, said he needs a late push to make up ground as the semifinal competition is scheduled to end Thursday at 8 p.m. MT. To support his campaign, individuals can cast a free vote at the Super Dad website or donate any amount of money to the Children’s Miracle Network in exchange for a vote.
The winner of the competition will receive $25,000 and will appear in a national television commercial provided by Ace Hardware.
For Williams, the competition carries personal significance due to past family tragedies. He and his wife learned that their baby had died in the womb during a scheduled induction two and a half years ago. Additionally, a nephew of Williams was born with complications and required a life-flight to Primary Children’s Hospital, where the family received support from nonprofit institutions for medical care.
Williams stated that participating in a competition that raises awareness and funds for people who cannot help themselves gives him significant meaning. He also noted that the prize money could help his family pay off debt and provide for Christmas this year.
Williams described himself as an ordinary man attempting to do something extraordinary. He noted that he serves as the primary breadwinner for his family and has coached his children in soccer, football, basketball, and baseball.
