What is the Wildcat Foundation? 
The Wildcat Foundation was incorporated in May 2004 as a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation to help the young men and women of North Little Rock High School and subsequently our city as a whole. Since 2004, we’ve contributed over $500,000 toward enhancing student life at the school. If you have a project you think we'd be interested in participating in, click here to download a Funding Request form.

Who are we and what current activities do we sponsor? 
Our Board of Directors are: Eddie Armstrong, Karen Boone, Teresa Burl, Anita Cameron, Cathy Cameron, Mary Beth Cox, Bill Gray, Regan Gruber-Moffitt, Whitnie Hall, Luke King, Kevin Noble and Clay Smith.  NLRHS senior Savanna Sallee currently serves as our Student Advisor.

Our main fund raising event each year is the annual Wildcat Duffers Classic Golf Tournament.  In addition, we've sponsored basketball tournaments and baseball tournaments as well as worked community events as sources of revenue.  Annual memberships also provide funds.

What we have accomplished. 
We've been fortunate to have touched many forms of student life on the NLRHS campus through financial contributions to:  The Speech and Drama Club, Swim Team, Yearbook, Volleyball Team, North Little Rock UniClub, Basketball Team, Post Prom Committee, Golf Team, Wildcat Spirit Shop, The North Little Rock Public Education Foundation as well as sponsorship of Girls State and Boys State attendees, a reading program and college scholarships for graduating seniors.

Our major project in 2005 and 2006 was the construction of a new 3,500 square foot multi-purpose training facility at the high school complete with state-of-the-art equipment and a new visitor's concession stand.  The project was a classic example of "Teamwork" as the Foundation along with community and business leaders joined to make the project a smashing success.  Our contribution to the project was over $150,00.  Thanks to all who so graciously devoted their time and financial support!

Since 2006 we've sponsored ten girls and ten boys to Arkansas Girls State and Boys State each year.  We are very proud to be a part of their development as future leaders at NLRHS as well as in our community.

Recently we have partnered with Barnes and Noble to assist the school with a student reading program we're very excited about.  The project has netted an additional 225 books for classroom libraries.  We are hopeful that a continued emphasis on reading will result in improvement of school-wide literacy.

We also fund college scholarships for graduating seniors.  Our Wildcat Legacy Scholarship has been renamed "The Anita Cameron Wildcat Legacy Scholarship" in honor of her vast contributions to NLRHS.  This scholarship is given to students who exemplify the spirit of student life at North Little Rock High School every year.
