Courtney Parker Benefit Car & Bike Show

From 5:00PM to 8:00PM

Join us for an evening of fun, and community support as we come together to help the Parker family during a difficult time. In April, Courtney Parker was severely injured in a automobile accident. She endured an extensive hospital stay, spending several weeks in the ICU and undergoing multiple surgeries. Throughout her hospitalization, her husband remained by her side, resulting in a significant loss of income for their family. While Courtney is now home continuing her recovery, the family is still facing the unexpected burden of ongoing medical expenses and financial hardship. We are hosting a Benefit Car & Motorcycle Show to help ease some of these burdens and show the Parker family the strength of a community that cares.

Location: Oak Hill High School (Elmer, La)
