What the Billie Y. Clark Fund Does

The purpose of the fund is to help educate and offer assistance to our neighbors impacted by Alzheimer's Disease in the rural areas of North Central Texas... in memory of Billie Y. Clark.

Each year, several free educational seminars will be offered to citizens living in Parker and Palo Pinto Counties and neighboring communities. These events will be funded by the Billie Y. Clark Fund.
