The Ohio Valley community is coming together to honor the memory of Coach Stevie Myers, who passed away in September this year due to cancer.
One of his childhood friends, P.K. Jebbia, recently started a fundraising event for the Stevie Myers Scholarship.
Coach Myers was known not only for his dedication to sports but also for his role as a husband, father, son, uncle, and friend.
His impact on students, athletes, and friends will be remembered for years to come.
In memory of Coach Myers, P.K. Jebbia will participate in the Black Gold 24-Hour Endurance Challenge in Belfry, Kentucky, on Saturday, November 15.
PK will run continuously for 24 hours to raise money for the newly created Coach Myers Scholarship.
This scholarship aims to support students as they pursue higher education, reflecting Coach Myers’ lifelong commitment to guiding young people.
According to PK, a GoFundMe page has been set up to collect donations for the scholarship.
Once the race begins, people can make their contributions through the GoFundMe page, which will be available during the race.
All proceeds will be presented to Coach Myers’ family and Coach Chad Stout during the Wheeling Park vs. Wheeling Central basketball game in early December.
Once the campaign begins, people are also encouraged to share their favorite memories of Coach Myers in the comments on the donation page.
