“Many people have reached out wanting to know how they can support Parker. We set up this fund to do exactly that. Please know that every dollar raised will directly support Parker’s education, health, and welfare … and yes, his athletics. Parker will continue to be surrounded by many fans – doting grandparents Sandy & George, Grandma Patty, aunts, uncles, and cousins. We hope this fund becomes a lasting tribute to a loving father, son, a great brother-in-law, uncle, professional, coach, colleague, and friend.”
And now the @ChicagoBears – the team that @DickersonESPN covered so well and so long – have donated $25,000 more, bringing the day’s total for Parker Dickerson to close to $600,000. Thank you. https://t.co/axis7JgyqT
