RNR Tire Franchisees Donate $2 Million to Local Hospital

Aug. 5, 2024

RNR Tire Express franchisees Lynn and Don Parker have donated $2 million to the Arkansas Children’s Hospital to help with the hospital's expansion project.  

The Parker family has donated over $4 million to the local hospital for the past five years.

The Parkers and their three daughters, Clara, Anna and Sydney, made the donations.  

“My wife and I have worked hard and been blessed in life and we both believe it is important to give back to the community,” says Don.  

“We have experienced first-hand the benefits of the philanthropic giveback to the hospital, so being able to provide that same support to kids and their families is an opportunity we are grateful to have.” 

Lynn and Don Parker are the largest RNR Tire Express franchisees with 32 stores across seven states, including 12 in Arkansas.
