"Carrie Lambert, Vice President Special Events and Community Relations, is a dedicated volunteer that consistently goes above and beyond on everything she places her hands on. This year she planned our first #BeautyBrainsBelief™ Mentoring Conference from Atlanta, arriving the morning of the conference in Maryland to execute it. It went of without any glitches, which is keeping with her stellar reputation for planning and executing top notch events.  

Carrie single handedly plans our annual coat drive we received 180 like new coats for children, women, and men in all sizes along with donation of $200; created 44 Easter Baskets for our adopted classroom in SE Washington, DC; planned and executed back to school supply drive for our adopted classroom in SE Washington, DC; created food drive to get fixings for the turkey baskets we give to the families of our adopted classroom, CEO and Founder purchased the turkeys. 

She is instrumental in getting the community involved in all our giving events, and our annual fundraising efforts and we always garner great support and donations of school supplies, Thanksgiving fixings, back to school supplies, and winter coat donations. 

Please consider this amazing young woman who is a volunteer with the title Vice President Special Events and Community Relations because you won't find anyone with her work ethic and refusal to take no for an answer. Carrie Lambert will always find a way to do the perceived impossible and is well deserving of this award."

We thank you in advance for Voting for Carrie to receive BCG 2014 Volunteer of the Year Award.

Women's History Month - Carrie M. Warford

Women's History Month: I would like to honor my Mother Carrie M. Warford, she is a Mother to five sons and one daughter ME! =)  My Moma married early while in high school to escape a not so nice step mother, resulting in having children early in her marriage to my Dad. She didn't work or drive it was the middle 1950 to early 1960's Dad was the bread winner and she took great care of us! Not one day were we hungry or not have a place to stay, and by no means were we wealthy closer to poverty, yet we always went to church and gave to others. The year I had my oldest daughter my parents finalized their divorce after 23yrs of marriage. Since that day in 1978, I have NEVER seen anything short of unwavering strength from my Moma. This is why at age 75yrs old she works full-time almost 7 days a week, and is the strongest I've ever seen!

For me at least she qualifies to be recognized as a pillar of Women's History Month!
