July31st: Back-to-school rally

More than 500 youths to receive supplies for upcoming school year at back-to-school rally

OVER 500 YOUTH TO RECEIVE SCHOOL SUPPLIES FOR UPCOMING SCHOOL YEAR:
Bishop Eric Morrison and Kingdom Word Ministries to provide a day of fun and supplies for Youth in Kansas City’s urban core

KANSAS CITY, MO – On Saturday, July 31, Kingdom Word Ministries (KWM) will host its 5th annual Back to School Rally from Noon to 3:00pm in 2 locations: 3301 Cypress Ave and at the Milton Moore Elementary School playground on the corner of Linwood and Cypress.

The event, created by KWM pastor and community advocate, Bishop Eric Morrison, was designed to provide youth located in Kansas City’s urban core with a day of positive entertainment and access to free school supplies for the upcoming year. Rally planners are preparing to accommodate over 1000 attendees and provide supplies to over 500 kindergarten to high school-aged children.

“I grew up just a few minutes from the church, so I’m a native of this community,” Bishop Morrison said. “I understand how an event of this magnitude can have such a far-reaching effect on the youth, and I know that these kids will enter classrooms this fall with a lot more enthusiasm if they feel equipped and empowered.”

The 2010 Back to School Rally will feature a 3 on 3 basketball tournament, rides, waterslides, free food and clothing. After a tremendous response at last year’s rally, the Kansas City Free Health Clinic will again be on hand to offer free rapid HIV testing in efforts to counteract the growing number of AIDS-related deaths among African-Americans.

For more information regarding the 2010 back to School Rally or to schedule an interview, please contact Bishop Eric Morrison at (816) 365-2247 or prophet_moe@yahoo.com.
