The 2018 Don & Mira Ball Education Builds Hope Luncheon is scheduled for May 10, 2018 at 12:15 pm at the Carrick House in Downtown Lexington. Education Builds Hope, now in its seventh year, is the premier fundraiser for One Parent Scholar House, a program that empowers single parents to earn their college degree by providing affordable housing for their families, on-site care and development for their children, counseling, and support from a community of staff and neighbors.
Tickets and more information about the event can be found here, or at www.oneparentscholarhouse.org, or by contacting Carrie Thayer at (859) 225-4673 or at cthayer@oneparentscholarhouse.org.
Featured Speaker:
Mo Isom, Best-selling Author and Former All-American Soccer Goalkeeper
Mo Isom is the New York Times Bestselling author of Wreck My Life: Journeying from Broken to Bold. She is also a popular faith-based blogger, a former All-American soccer goalkeeper and the first female to have trained with and tried out for an SEC men’s football team. She is widely recognized as a powerful female voice rising up for her generation, as her unique personal story and athletic endeavors have provided her with a platform to challenge, encourage, and equip others to live boldly, despite their circumstances. Having faced great personal tragedy—including battling an eating disorder, overcoming the suicide of her father (Mo was raised by a single mom), and surviving a horrific car accident—Mo’s story is honest, captivating and thought-provoking.
