Mothers 4 Education has entered into a partnership with the City of Carlisle for the 2013 sports seasons to provide concession for youth basketball, baseball and football! What a blessing it will be if we are able to provide more to the children than the previous years. We have our hearts set on a goal, and we are going to make it happen!

So while you are out, and enjoying the youth activities, stop by and tell us how we are doing. We would love to hear your thoughts and donations are always welcomed!

City of Carlisle - Pee Wee Football

Thu, 17 Jan 2013 16:11:15 +0100

Mothers 4 Education was asked to provide concession for the 2012 Pee Wee Football Season for the City of Carlisle. Creating this partnership has opened up a door for our cause. All of the proceeds of Mothers 4 Education filters back into the community. Everything we do is centered around providing adequate supplies for children in need.

By the City of Carlisle allowing M4E the opportunity to operate our concession, we were able to begin our fundraising efforts earmarked for the 2013 Back To School Bash!!

Another successful event has come and gone. Special thanks to CADC, National Guard, Bridget Wilkins, Adam Ingle, Arkansas Forestry Commission, the City of Carlisle, Carlisle Fire Department, Arkansas Children's Hospital, Beth Plafcan, our faithful donaors, and our many volunteers who help make our event worthwhile each and every year.

Coat Drive

Mon, 12 Dec 2011 20:02:01 +0100

M4E sponsored a Coat Drive at the Carlisle Community Center on December 10th, 2011 from 10am-12pm. No child or adult should be out during the wintery months without a warm coat. Coats were donated by several members of the community and the faculty at the school. There was a drop off box at Mayflower Food Store as well. Coats were distributed on a "first-come first-serve" basis. As long as we knew that they were going to someone in need, we were happy to assist. The remaining coats were donated to Immanuel Baptist Church for the Clothing Closet. If you know of anyone in need, please contact Bro. Bill Ricks at (870)552-3100. Special thanks to Mayflower Food Store, Carlisle Public Schools and Immanuel Baptist Church.

As we approached the noon hour, we transported what we had left to Mayflower Food Store! There was a huge turnout and this event couldn't have gone any better than it did!
