Red Raven Baseball To Host Fort Scott Greyhounds in Conner Taylor Suicide Prevention & Awareness Games

Coffeyville Community College Red Ravens Baseball Team will host a doubleheader against Fort Scott Community College Greyhounds on Saturday, May 7th in honor of Conner Taylor and Suicide Prevention.

Conner Taylor was a member of the 2015 Red Raven Baseball team who tragically took his own life at a young age. Conner was a bright and caring young man on and off the baseball field. Connor excelled in the classroom and was loved by his family, friends, and all others that had the pleasure of knowing him.

Conner's parents, Mike and Marcy, along with his brother, Ryan, created the Conner Taylor Change4Conner Foundation to honor his life by making a difference in the lives of others. On an annual basis, the Change4Conner Foundation funds multiple baseball scholarships named in his honor. Additionally, the Foundation supports local school districts and partners with groups that promote Mental Health Education including Suicide Prevention and Suicide Awareness. 

The Change4Conner.org Foundation has helped provide Red Raven Baseball with some new additions to the Walter Johnson Park facilities over the past few years.  Those additions include an updated press box, backstop, concession stand & bathrooms.

In conjunction with the May 7th doubleheader, Red Raven Baseball will also be announcing the annual Conner Taylor Memorial Award recipient.
