is a non-profit 501 ( c ) 3 organization that was established in 2016 in memory of Nathan Parker who lost his battle to drug addiction at the young age of 27. The relationships he amassed from an exceptional taste for the outgoing were long lasting and deep. Nate’s selflessness was bested only by his flair for fun. At the time of his passing, those closest to him reflected on missed opportunity a
nd lack of guidance that could have been the difference in him still being with us. We spoke of these fleeting chances that could have altered his story to one still being written. At its core, The Parker Fund exists to be that difference in continuing the stories of others. The landscape of our Fund is ever growing. A board of trustees has been assembled that will continue this growth for many years to come. To date, we've facilitated what is now a pending 1023 filing for federal recognition as a non-profit with tax exemption. We continue to groom the impact of our signature event in the Memorial Golf Tournament and are fast developing strategies for future events. Our organization, while still in its infancy, is eagerly navigating the seas of charity led by our Chairman, Kyle Frazier. We’re united in our passion to strengthen local communities’ resources in the fight on drug addiction. Our purpose is clear but, our direction still unfolds. As our positioning to generate revenues finalizes we’ll begin our plan in maximizing its impact. We’ll shift our focus and set our sights firmly on combating one drug addiction at a time. Our passion in carrying out our mission statement will serve as fuel and we welcome contributions from all of those who stand for the same.
