Dear John:
You may remember that my daughter-in-law and granddaughter were killed in car accident on I-10 near Quartzite, Arizona on June 28, 2007. Kari and Keira Lyn Parker were the wife and daughter of my son Matt Parker who teaches and coached baseball at Fallbrook High School for many years.
The family has created the Kari & Keira Lyn Parker Foundation, a non-profit organization that will raise funds for scholarships, special school projects and other programs designed to support needy children. The web site is 2k4kids.com. Supporters can go there to find out about the Foundation’s mission and goals, about Kari & Keira Lyn (includes a very special video), and to find out about upcoming events.
Our next event will be held on October 31, 2009: It's the Route 66 10K and 2K Run/Walk & Community BBQ. Anyone interested in participating or just donating can register on-line at the 2k4kids.com web site.
