Father of the Year Awards Founder and Apparel legend, Sylvan Landau, passes away at age 85.

We mourn the loss of our founder, mentor and dear friend, Sylvan Landau, who passed away on May 9th.  We will miss him greatly, but cherish knowing that the legacy he leaves as a father to his family, through the Father of the Year Awards, numerous charities he has nurtured and profound impact on the apparel industry, will be long enduring.  Our thoughts and prayers are with Sylvan's devoted wife Margie, his children and the rest of his wonderful family with whom he was always very close and about whom he was ever proud.  To all his family and dear friends, we extend our most sincere condolences.  We will have a special tribute to Sylvan at our luncheon this year celebrating 35 years of his great leadership and inspiration to fathers. 

The Sylvan Landau Founder's Scholarship Award was established this year by a seed grant from the Dallas Market Center to honor Sylvan and his lifetime of helping children, families and others in need in our community.  If you would like to make a donation to his scholarship fund in honor of Sylvan, you may do so by noting that with your donation sent by mail or by the "Donate" link below (using the "special message for Merchant" box at checkout).
