“FUNDRAISER” for the Mike Pettine foundation. We have NOW REACHED $11,000 of our GOAL of $20k. If u haven’t donated yet please consider helping fund the “All Bark no Bite” MPF fundraiser in our quest to:

1) give a CB WEST senior male & female athlete a $2500 yearly scholarship to be used for their College tuition
2) give yearly financial help to to a Central Bucks community person or cause (gave $500 this yr to a local woman who had no food in her house)
3) help the CB West football team financially w their needs

This is our 3rd fundraiser in 9 yrs since our Coach & Friend Mike Pettine passed away. He made such a difference in so many lives not only in winning 326 games, 20 league titles, 4 State titles, two of longest win streaks (55 & 59) ever in the Nation but in molding our CHARACTER which help make us the men we are today.

Coach Pettine coached 33 yrs with over 1500 players on those teams ……yet only 32 former players have donated so far. Our goal is to raise 20k and we are presently at 11k. Give it some thought. Your donation will have Coach smiling from above.

DONORS listed in separate POST below !

Thx you !
Mike Carey, President MPF (501-3c non profit)

This video was at practice two days before our 1999 State Championship Game vs. Erie Cathedral Prep. This was Coach Mike Pettine "LAST GAME". They were ranked #3 in the Nation and we were #7. This clip shows Pettine's “attention to detail” coaching Andrew Elsing on the mechanics of blocking a punt. Who would of ever guessed that two days later w 1:44 seconds left in the game, down 13-7, Elsing would make the greatest play ever in CBW history and blocks Erie Cathedral punt, picking it up and diving into the end zone for the touchdown. This clip is priceless !!! MC

Hi, I hope this finds everything well with you, your family and loved ones. As the years go by, I hope we’ve all had a lot of time to reflect on what is really important in our lives. At the TOP for myself is the mentors who shaped my character of exactly who I’ve grown to be. My Dad who passed away 4 yrs ago & my Mom (still going strong at 93) have been a huge influence in my life. Next at the top is my great friend and coach, Mike Pettine Sr. What he taught me as a player & coach I carry with me each and every day. I many times say things to my daughters that were said to me by Coach P. One of his famous lines to me was “your a glass 1/2 empty guy all the time"….. ending w his famous…WHY ?” Insinuating that I was never satisfied …. it made me laugh !!! Like he ever was !!! This was the guy who was more driven than anyone I’ve ever known.
So, as President of the Mike Pettine Foundation, I don’t want to lose momentum with the great work our FOUNDATION is doing, both honoring Coach Pettine and raising money for scholarships and charities in his name.
I’m contacting you to let everyone know we are starting our 3rd Fundraiser since we formed the Mike Pettine Foundation in 2017. I’m calling it "all Bark no Bite"…….. If you played or coached w Mike Pettine Sr. you obviously have heard him say this many times. Can’t you just close your eyes and hear Coach Pettine screaming this in practice day after day. If u didn't play well he was on u from the time Monday night films were over to the end of the next game! “Your all Bark & no Bite !!” Pettine would scream when he thought you weren’t being tough enough. Coach wanted all of us to reach our max potential..... and he was the Master of quips to get u there. Coach Pettine loved us all. Winning was very important – but the perfect block, perfect pass route, perfect Defensive technique & great 100% effort on every play was part of his daily drive and PERFECTION was his ultimate goal. He wanted every player on the roster to play his very best every PRACTICE & every GAME !
We are carrying on Coach P's legacy through honoring a SENIOR Male & Female athlete w a $1500 scholarship. We want that to grow to $2500 yearly (which Coach Pettine gave through the Buck Club in the 90’s) when he coached. We also gave $500 to a community person who didn't have enough money to buy groceries to live this past year. We want to get that to $2000 yearly and split it into helping multiple people. Of course we will continue to provide help in all ways possible to the CB West football team.
Please consider sending a donation to the link provided. Any amount will help. $25, $50, $100. Lastly, feel free to reach out to myself w any questions or comments.
🏆 Lastly, check out our page which will show you all the Friends who have DONATED so far !!

Thank you,
Michael Carey, Pres, MPF

ALL BARK NO BITE !!"

Our 2026 MPF FUNDRAISER (please click on video above. We think u will love these short video's of Coach Pettine and his views on CBW football. There are about 15 of them and we will be rotating them ! ...so don't miss them ! )

Former PLAYERS, COACHES, MANAGERS, CHEERLEADERS, FANS & SUPPORTERS of the Mike Pettine Foundation 501(c)(3) & CB WEST Football:
As President of the Mike Pettine Foundation, I want to THANK everyone who has helped keep the great memories of Coach Mike Pettine ALIVE! The Pettine Foundation Board, with your generous support, has been very active in the community since our inception 8 years ago. We’ve hosted a Memorial Banquet honoring Coach Pettine. We’ve organized 7 Golf outings. We’ve raised over $100k for the Mike Pettine statue and personalized bricks erected at War Memorial Field. We contributed financially to the signage across from War Memorial field renaming the practice football, soccer, and tennis courts ... THE COACH PETTINE SPORTS COMPLEX. We’ve helped the CBW Football team & Coach Rob Rowan by paying for team dinners before playoff games & helping with buying weight room equipment.
We've continued what Coach Pettine started in the early 90's by giving a senior boy & girl athlete each a $1500 scholarship to help w their first year of college. This year (2026) we added another arm to our MPF reach where we will look to help someone in the Community. This year we gave $500 to a former football manager who needed help.
Lastly, we built a 1st class MPF website and we digitally archived Coach Pettine’s trove of game films from 1967-2001. That archive is now available for viewing via the MPF website (mikepettinefoundation.org) or our YouTube Channel. Its amazing !!
We are incredibly proud of the accomplishments of the MPF over the last 8 years. However, when we established the MP Foundation, we had set a primary goal to fully fund the Mike Pettine Scholarship at $2,500 per student each year and we HOPE your generosity would help get us there through this fundraiser.
Coach Pettine’s goal was to produce football teams that would WIN and do it with class. Those teams were always comprised of players who would strive to reach their maximum potential not just every season, but every individual PLAY! Coach strove to develop high character men who would make great Fathers, great Employees, great Citizens and take with them that unending willpower to never give up and strive for perfection in life’s challenges.
There was nothing that made Coach Mike Pettine prouder than to see his former players doing well as they got older. Coach Pettine had always believed in service to others, that commitment to being part of something bigger is a core tenet of his coaching philosophy. While Coach could recall details of wins, he could also proudly rattle off the schools his players attended to continue their education. Coach’s belief in the transformative value of education was visible in meetings with coaches from D1 to D3, countless letters of recommendation, and securing scholarship dollars on behalf of his players.
Since Coach Pettine passing, the Mike Pettine Foundation is now carrying that torch and striving to award $2500 for a CBW male & female athlete each year. We are currently awarding $1500 to assist with their first-year tuition. We NEED YOUR HELP and have set a goal of raising $25,000 for the scholarship fund. You can be sure Coach Pettine will be smiling if you donate $25 or $2500. Let’s all get involved in Mike Pettine’s honor and CRUSH OUR GOAL by raising $25,000 in Coach’s name!

On behalf of the Foundation, we invite you to participate in our 4th MPF Fundraiser. We are calling it “ALL BARK NO BITE!” If you played for Coach Pettine, were a Parent or a Fan, you knew him as a perfectionist who used a million different motivational tools to get his team ready to perform.
When I bump into former players and we start sharing stories, inevitably we talk about Practices, Games & Monday night film sessions. One of the defining experiences of the Pettine era was a blowout win Friday night followed by a Monday night film session reality check as only Coach Pettine could offer.
Rewatching these games on our web site I can picture Coach zeroing in with his laser pointer on some unsuspecting player on the backside of a play.
"Who is that?"
"That's Me"
"WHO'S ME? That's not what I want !"
And then the punchline, "Your all Bark with no Bite !"
Nothing showcased Coach’s drive for perfection more than these legendary Monday night film sessions. We as players were always on edge no matter what the winning score was for CB/CBW. You didn’t dare tell any of the coaches you played well after the game as you knew that Coach Pettine would find many, many things you did wrong. When the lights went out and the film started ALL OF US got lower and lower in our seats hoping to avoid Coach Pettine’s oncoming wrath.
That was bad enough, waiting in the dark wondering when Pettine would single you out, but nothing compared to when Pettine screamed “turn the lights on!” He would stand and address you individually with “what the heck are you doing here ? ...that's not what I want ! ...You weren't ready to play !"
Then the next 4 days of practice was HELL !!! Pettine would ride u and watch every thing u did. He was making sure you would show up and give your best effort that Friday night. When Friday night came Pettine would be sure to continue to let u know he was watching and if u tied your sleeves up or has high socks to your knees he would flip ! "there u go...trying to look tough! U better bring the Bite this week !"
Coach Pettine was so special to ALL of US. His personality, his style, his hard nosed approach, love for his players, his genius coaching (where even today he would kick ass!) and his competitive fire made him a man we will never forgot.

We would like Coach Pettine’s Legacy to last forever, and we can do this with everyone’s support. Tax deductible donations can be made w the link below or the Pettine Foundation Website.
