Missy Wins Tony Reyes Community Service Award

Missy Parkin was selected by the PBA as the 2014 Tony Reyes Community Service Award winner. Missy received her award as part of the 2014 PBA Award Ceremony, which also included the Steve Nagy Award winner - Brett Spangler, Rookie of the Year - Marshall Kent and Bowler of the Year - Jason Belmonte, presented by the PBA earlier this week.

Missy was selected largely due to her efforts in helping to raise over $20,000 for the Baby Reesa Foundation. The Baby Reesa Foundation helps families with children who are born with Krabbe disease, a rare and fatal disease for infants and young children. Missy and husband Drew Parkin held a charity pro-am event which raised a majority of the fundraising efforts. The pro-am featured many of the Columbia 300 pro staff, as well as major league baseball star Skip Schumaker. A silent auction was also held in conjunction with the pro-am event.

This year, the Baby Reesa Charity pro-am event will be held on Friday, June 19th at Bowlium Lanes in Montclair, CA in conjunction with the PBA Regional event held June 19-21. For more information about the Baby Reesa Foundation, click here.
