Scholarship
The Brooke Ashton Parker Foundation is meant to be a lasting tribute to Brooke, who was killed in a head on collision by a wrong-way drunk driver on 11/7/2016. She lived a vibrant life and was a strong influence on those that knew and loved her. God was a daily part of her life and she lived her days with passion and joy. Brooke was an over achiever and worked hard at athletics and scholastics and showed determination and grit often surpassing her natural given talents. She served proudly as athletic trainer at Lubbock Cooper Schools. This scholarship is intended to be given to deserving individuals who will go forward in the community, make a difference in the world around them, as well as ease the financial burden of a college education. As we share Brooke's story with you, we hope in turn, you'd share yours with us.
Deadline: January 15th, 2026
Seniors, if you have a parent that works for Caviness Beef Packers, please email Ms. Nelson at hnelson@sunraybobcats.net and let her know. There is a new scholarship opportunity in the works!
