Dear Volunteer(s)
The Bill Parrish Family 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament is run by volunteers. Your participation makes the work of the Lions Club and the NO CO Foundation possible- Thank You! The NO CO Foundation was created following the deaths of Bill and Ross Parrish, along with their two sons, Keegan and Liam as a result of Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning in the Spring of 2014. The remaining Parrish family and friends were deeply moved by the outpouring of support they felt from the community. The deaths of Bill, Ross, Keegan and Liam were all the more tragic because they could have been prevented if Bill and Ross had known more about the danger of CO and protected themselves. The tournament's goals are simple...it hopes to ensure that no family suffers a similar loss because they didn't know how to protect themselves from CO. In order to accomplish this, the Chubbuck Lions, along with Idaho Central Credit Union, and the Phil Meador Group, are hosting the Bill Parrish Family 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament on August 2-3. Proceeds from the tournament will be dedicated to promote education and awareness of carbon monoxide poisoning, and to preserve and restore sight and hearing, a cause near to the hearts of the Bill and Ross Parrish family. |
To ensure the success of the 3-on-3 Basketball tournament you can help in the following three ways*:

The organizing committee has acquired the majority of tools to make the 3-on-3 Basketball tournament run effectively; however the tournament is still in need of a number of free standing awning and canopies.

We are well short of that number and will need more.
