A Wonderful Mother's Day Luncheon

We celebrated Mother's Day at Luby's this year. We were so blessed to spend time and show gratitude to our mothers. Before we began our celebration, we shared a poem that was read by each person in honor of their mother.















A great time was had by all. We are hoping to make this an annual event.

What else have we been up to? Everything! Below you will find photos of recent events.

School Supply SUCCESS for Carter Academy!

On behalf of Girlfriends On the Go! ~ Houston, I would like to extend a HUGE THANK YOU to all that helped our Back to School Fundraiser become a success. We have helped children in need at Carter Academy start the year off right by providing the school supplies that their parents could not afford. Principal Lee Wold, Assistant Principal Nora Sada (pictured below), and Counselor Demita Talley (pictured below) will distribute the supplies as needed to ensure that every child will have the proper tools to learn.

Over $800 in school supplies were donated, making a huge impact where it was most needed. With most school kit supplies averaging $45 or more, we were able to lighten the financial load for parents that simply could not afford this necessity.

Every person that donated has made a significant contribution to enhancing a child's education at Carter Academy. I would also like to thank all of the Girlfriends that worked so hard over the past few months collecting donations, purchasing school supplies and getting their family and friends involved so that we could provide this gift.

Karaoke Night with Girlfriends On the Go!

Thanks to all that came out to support us! We had so much fun and enjoyed all of the singing and dancing at Aztecas Bar and Grill.

Thank you again for your continued support! Our Back to School Fundraiser isn't over yet and we still need your donations. Please click on the donation button at the top right corner of this web page and donate $5 or more to the children of Carter Academy. Every little bit helps and our future depends on your willingness to help.

Off To A Great Start!!!

On behalf of Girlfriends On the Go!, I would like to personally thank every person that donated and attended our Back to School Fundraiser. We had a wonderful time and it was a great start to our fundraising for Carter Academy. We will be campaigning and collecting school supplies and donations until August 14. PLEASE continue to help us, as the funding for education is being cut and will negatively affect the students and teachers. There are so many children that can benefit from this and we want to invest in our future by making sure that they have the tools to learn.

If you have it in your heart, please click on the DONATE button to the right and donate a gift of $5 or more. No donation is too small.

Thank you in advance for your continued support! We will be collecting school supplies at our next event -

Karaoke Night at Azteca's. Join us on Friday, June 24 from 6:30 pm - 11:30 pm. Azteca's Bar & Grill 2207 Richmond Houston, TX 77098
