Doug Parker Fundraiser

Many in the area may remember reading about the passing of Doug Parker back in May of this year. He died from pancreatic cancer and was the father of students who attend Glenelg High, Glenwood Middle and Lisbon Elementary schools.

He was also the founder of eSchool Newsletter. The Parker children, Stephen, Lauriann, Alyssa and Charlie, have started a fund in their father’s memory to be donated to the Ulman Cancer Fund, in Columbia.

The first fundraiser is a “Back to School Haircut” event, where local salons will donate 20 percent of the cost of salon services Aug. 11-13 and the week of August 17-24. The following salons in our area are participating in this fundraiser: Salon Tusey, Studio 10 Hair Salon, As You Like it Hair Salon, Great Clips in Mount Airy, and Reflections Hair Design in Mount Airy.

When you get your hair cut, be sure to tell them you are there to support the Big Doug Fund. More information about the fund is available at bigdougfund.angelfire.com or email BigDougFund@yahoo.com.
