In May, local community member Sean Riley suffered a traumatic brain injury as a result of a succession of blackouts and falls. A Beach Bash Benefit is being held to help offset Sean’s medical expenses on Wednesday, August 15, 5-8 p.m., at Zephyr Cove Resort.
Sean is an off-road tour guide for Lake Tahoe Adventures and his wife, Georgette, works for the Lake Tahoe Visitors Authority and Tahoe Chamber. Sean has been hospitalized since May and came home this week and is now under 24-hour care. He is doing better, but does have some issues with comprehension and memory as a result of the injury, and has a long road to recovery requiring extensive therapy, home supervision and care.

The benefit is $35/person and includes BBQ dinner and raffle ticket. There will be a no-host bar, live music, silent and live auction in addition to raffle prizes. Zephyr Cove Resort is located at 760 Highway 50 in Zephyr Cove, Nevada.

Aramark, who manages Zephyr Cove Resort, has donated a portion of their services and costs so $25 from every ticket will go directly to Sean Riley for care.

Tickets are available at the door; at the Lake Tahoe Visitors Authority Visitor Center, 3066 Lake Tahoe Boulevard in South Lake Tahoe, California; and online at http://tinyurl.com/seanriley1.

For those wanting to make a straight donation, checks can be made out to “The Sean Riley Foundation” and mailed to the Lake Tahoe Visitors Authority at P.O. Box 5878, Stateline, Nevada 89449 or dropped off at Wells Fargo Bank at 110 Highway 50, Sateline, Nevada 89449.
