A Liver for Luke

At Access, we are determined to be involved in our communities and help those in need. A Liver for Luke is an ongoing fundraiser. This is a young man that desperately needs a liver to improve his quality of life. The event below helped bring community members together and all had a great time for a VERY good cause. Donations are still being accepted and as mentioned in the following paragraph, you can get more info by going to their Facebook page here.


“A Liver for Luke’ fundraiser will be held Saturday Sept 28th from 11a.m. to 4p.m. at 200 West Center in Hyde Park.  Featuring live music, face painting, rock climbing, cotton candy, food & drinks, 5k or 1 mile run at 10a.m., silent auction and games for kids. Luke Rigby is in liver failure and awaiting a transplant.  He hasn’t been able to work for months because of the pain, he has to get dialysis 2 times/ week and then he has to take a weekly trip to Salt Lake for tests to see whether or not he will be moved up on the transplant list.  Medical bills are piling up and family & friends have organized this event for Luke and his wife Tiffani.  All proceeds will go to the couple to help with medical costs.  (Also as part of the fundraiser: there are 2 tickets to the sold-out Luke Bryan concert that have been donated to the cause for $300 a piece).  For more information: see “A Liver for Luke” on Facebook”
