CFMC Meaningful Mondays Episode 20 – Lindsay Parke

---

Episode 20 – Lindsay and John Parke established the JB Parke Memorial Funds in memory of their son John Brinton “JB” Parke, who passed away in December 2021 at the age of 33 after a year-long battle with a rare, aggressive form of kidney cancer.

JB, a 2006 graduate of Coginchaug High School, loved his sports, both playing and as a spectator. He exhibited all the great sportsmanship qualities in every sport he played. JB’s spirit and memory will be kept strong through family and friends and the many kind acts of all who knew him. Lindsay joins Cynthia Clegg, CFMC, to share why she and her husband established two Funds to carry on JB’s legacy, the JB Parke Memorial Scholarship Fund which will provide education awards to graduating Coginchaug High School seniors and the JB Parke Memorial Fund which will support programs and services that benefit our community, particularly those individuals and families battling cancer and children and teens participating in youth sports.
