May is National Stroke Awareness Month.

It’s a big problem which affects millions of Americans each year.

But some Little Leaguers are taking a swing at defeating it.

On Tuesday, May 28, a helicopter will land at the Osceola Sports Complex, 382 North Country Club Road, to deliver the baseball for the first pitch of the Little League game.

The 15th Annual Wayne Taylor Memorial Golf Tournament will be held Tuesday, June 4, at the Big Lake Country Club in Manila.

Donations made to the tournament through sponsorships are used to fund student scholarships at Arkansas Northeastern College.  The scholarships are available to all students from the Buffalo Island and Bootheel of Missouri areas.  Since its inception the tournament has raised more than $65,000 in scholarships.

Run or walk.  Either way The ASU Student Nurses Association hopes you will at least “Trot 4 Tots.”

The organization will host the second annual Trot 4 Tots 5k Run/Walk on Saturday, April 27, at Craighead Forest Park, Pavilion One, in Jonesboro.

Proceeds from the event will benefit the new St. Bernards Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
