The Luv4Logan Gala – A Huge Success

He suffered traumatic brain damage in the accident. After months in the hospital Logan is now rehabilitating at home and requires daily therapy and care.

Friday night's  "A Night at the Carnival" gala The gala featured live performers and two auctions, one live and one silent. Bidders had a chance to win vacations in the Caymen Islands, Hawaii, and Avalon. A golf getaway, a skiing trip, fine dining certificates and more were also on the auction block.

The event was organized by the Friends of the Schweiters, a volunteer group of neighbors and friends, with guidance from Help Hope Live a Radnor-based national nonprofit organization that provides guidance to families who have to deal with the burdensome costs of catastrophic injuries and transplants.
