This September marks 20 years since the attacks on 9/11, and with Father’s Day coming up, the Mets hosted a group of families who lost loved ones on and after that tragic day.

Father’s Day weekend is a time to celebrate dad, but for many families, it’s a challenging time of year.

“Father’s Day has always been a really important day at Tuesday’s Children because Dad isn’t there. Seven out of eight of those lost on 9/11 were fathers, so we always try to do something fun,” said Terry Sears, executive director of Tuesday’s Children.
