Honoring a Hometown Hero: Dave Park’s Legacy Lives On Through Youth Mentorship

The Dave Park Memorial Benefit continues its mission of honoring a beloved community member by giving back in a meaningful way. On June 16th, during the Laurel Festival, representatives from the Dave Park Memorial Brigade presented a generous donation of $4,200 to the Brookville Chapter of Truth In Nature – a youth mentorship organization that aligns perfectly with the values and legacy of Dave Park. Dave Park passed away in 2021 but left a lasting impact on the Brookville area through his tireless support of local youth programs, including Little League and various community sports.  Known for his mentorship, energy, and love for children, Dave’s memory lives on in many ways—from the t-ball field named in his honor to the annual benefit event that supports causes close to his heart. For the past three years, the Dave Park Memorial Benefit has proudly supported Truth In Nature, an organization dedicated to mentoring young boys from fatherless homes through outdoor adventures and Christian guidance.  The group helps build character, confidence, and leadership in young men—principles that Dave lived by and would be proud to see continued. The donation comes from proceeds raised during the benefit’s popular annual event, which features a large cornhole tournament, live music, camping, and a day of fun at the Eagles Pavilion in Brookville.  Next year marks the 6th annual Dave Park Memorial Benefit Cornhole Tournament, scheduled for Saturday, June 13, 2026 — mark your calendars.
