4th Annual Parker Abbott Memorial Ride

You are welcome to come that day and register, this is also being used to get an estimated number of participants.

Kids 13 and under ride free.

Come join us at the Cass County Fairgrounds! This event is a wonderful opportunity to connect with fellow jeepers/riders/people (any vehicle is welcome), gather resources, eat good food, enjoy the beautiful scenery, and pay tribute to Parker Abbott.

Get ready to rev up your engines and hit the open road with us. So, grab your helmet, or take your top off, and bring your friends, and let's make this ride one to remember! (all automobiles welcome)

On July 13, 2022 the world stood still for anyone who knew Parker Abbott. He was lost to suicide. He was only 14 years old. Suicide takes too many of our loved ones! Our babies are losing their battle with mental illness and we must rise up, talk about it, educate, and connect people with the resources or supports they need to prevent others from having to go through this horrific, life altering, event.

We are not only getting together to remember Parker that day, but we are fundraising for a scholarship in his name. His name will live on, we will talk about him, we will share his story and keep his memory alive.

We will also have resources there for the day, live entertainment, and silent auction items. This event is an annual Suicide Prevention/Awareness event, as well as a memorial and fundraiser. The t-shirts will not only display our unity, but provide a message as well!

We are fighting back against suicide! We are talking prevention! Don't miss out. Please join us and show your support for the cause. We are raising funds for the Parker Abbott Memorial Scholarship.

Rough Plan:

We are partnering with Cass County 4H and the Chamber of Commerce on their annual Pancake Day.

They will be serving breakfast from 7am-9:45 am. ** From 7am-945am you can get breakfast from the 4H and Chamber Fundraiser as well, those funds are going to be separate then our funds. We are not serving a meal this year so we HIGHLY encourage you to come early and support another great cause. It is $6 for adults, $4 for kids, and 5 and under are FREE. Please consider doing this, as they are allowing us to use their space and supporting our cause as well.

9am-11:15am resources, silent auction, line up, music, etc.

9am-11:15am Best in "class". Vote by donating a dollar for which one you like best! One jeep winner, one bike winner, and one "other" auto. Winner keeps their winnings. All other money goes into the scholarship funds.
