Let’s Pig Out!

Today is the day! It’s time to Pig Out for Parkinson’s at Cox Bros. BBQ to support the Meadowlark Hills Parkinson’s Program. Join us as we raise awareness for Parkinson’s disease (PD).

Michelle Haub, Parkinson’s Program Leader, and the members of our Parkinson’s Core Team will be available from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 4:30 to 9 p.m. to educate people who stop by about PD and the services offered by the Parkinson’s Program. Cox Bros. will donate 10 percent of the sales from this day to the program.

Wait…there’s more! K-State Head Football Coach Bill Snyder will be present at lunch to sign autographs and take pictures. With a minimum donation of $10 to the Parkinson’s Program, you will receive a bottle of Cox Bros. BBQ sauce signed by Coach Snyder.

The Parkinson’s Program is growing, not only are there opportunities on-campus at Meadowlark Hills, but a little over a year ago, Michelle started a YOPD group that meets monthly for those individuals diagnosed with PD at the age of 55 or younger. The Parkinson’s Program as a whole plays an important part of keeping the whole person well after receiving the PD diagnosis.

See you today piggin’ out at Cox Bros. BBQ and thanks (in advance!) for stopping by!
