Make plans to come to the Fred’s Parking Lot on the corner of Hwy 4 and Hwy 167 in Jonesboro on April 4th to support the “Coach Tate” memorial scholarship fundraiser through the purchase BBQ plates.

Enjoy a delicious meal of BBQ ribs, dirty rice, baked beans, desert and a drink all for $15.00 per plate. All proceeds go toward funding the first annual scholarship in memory of former JHHS graduate and JHMS Middle School coach Tay’Vionne Tate.

Donations can also be made at Jackson Parish Bank in Jonesboro, where an account has been opened. Donation deadline is April 6th, 2026. 

Thank you for your generosity, love and continued support for honoring Tay’Vionne’s legacy by assisting in helping provide funding for a local graduate to continue their education.
