Four Bullets
SCHOLARSHIP
Each year a $1,000.00 scholarship is provided to a deserving Terry Parker senior that has faced obstacles during their high school career.
The scholarship can be used to assist with basic needs as they prepare for college. Knowing that high school seniors need support in many areas, this scholarship can be used for dorm room set-up, travel to college, lodging or as a means to show students that their determination to finish school despite obstacles is being rewarded.
SPONSORSHIP
The Smile For Mitch Basketball Shootout was created through an athletic bond that began with basketball but ended up with a brotherhood between Mitch and Parker’s former girls’ basketball coach, Javon Cummings.
