Money from this fundraiser goes to support Single Parent Scholarship Fund of Pulaski County (SPSF). SPSF is a comprehensive scholarship program: We provide scholarships, nurture families, and create new futures. Our motto is: "When you bring single parents out of poverty, they bring their children with them."

Our recipients can receive up to $2,700 per year ($900 each fall, spring, summer semester) to help with tuition, fees, books, daycare, rent or mortgage, utility assistance, professional dues, testing fees, transportation needs, diapers, even food.

Nearly one in five Arkansas families are led by single parents, of which 80% are single mothers. We believe single-parent families that are led by skilled and educated mothers and fathers have a much greater opportunity to achieve self sufficiency and a better quality of life, generation after generation. A skilled workforce also helps the economic condition of our communities and boosts our state’s ability to compete in the global market.

Come out, have a cocktail, listen to live music by Stacy Higginbotham and enjoy hor d'oeuvres while raising money to help single parents break the cycle of poverty in Arkansas.
