The 4th Annual Coyote Crazy Parkinson’s Benefit Poker Walk was held on September 9 at Brown’s Park south of Abilene. The event is held in honor of coyote hunting enthusiast, Dennis Rider, Abilene, and all others fighting the fight against Parkinson’s Disease. The Coyote Crazy committee wanted to continue to keep the funds local.
Coyote Crazy recently donated $20,000 to Impact Sports and Fitness, in Abilene, for the Parkinson’s program. The amount is the same as the donation in each of the last two years.
“The funds donated to Impact Sports and Fitness allow individuals diagnosed with Parkinson’s to receive monthly memberships, classes, and personal training sessions” said Anita Larson, Impact Sports and Fitness Manager. “It’s a great service for our community members to continue to utilize our facility and take part in our program at no cost to the individual. We are very appreciative to have been chosen to receive these funds from the Coyote Crazy event to allow us to provide those with Parkinson’s the opportunity to stay active,” continued Larson.
If you, or someone you know, can benefit from the Parkinson’s program, FREE of charge, contact Impact Sports and Fitness at 785 -263-3888 or stop by 418 N. Broadway in downtown Abilene. Thank you to the Coyote Crazy committee for continuing to support this program.
