CHARLOTTE – The Carolina Panthers' practice field was filled with pros on Saturday, but instead of NFL players, 1,000 dads and kids came out for the All Pro Dad Father and Kids Experience.

The event wasn't just about the boys. A few moms and daughters were at the park too.

Former Carolina Panthers guard Kevin Donnalley was on hand to help lead the event.

“These dads are getting tips, pointers, some different things that you can talk to your kids about or games that you can play that they can take home with them and have some fun with them and just find ways to connect,” Donnalley said.

All Pro Dad is made up of nearly 60 NFL players, coaches and alumni who encourage men to be good fathers.
