  • Loyalty is the key to any lasting relationship
  • Family above all else
  • Don’t let your rivals know what you’re thinking
  • Crime does not pay

What Godfather moments have inspired you to be a better human being? What qualities do you believe we need to see more of to be the best possible godfathers and godmothers for our friends, family, and coworkers–and as members of global society? We encourage creativity in sharing your stories and perspectives through video, or you can memorialize inspired moments or lessons in writing.
