Calaveras Cantina Hosts Fundraiser for Team Member Injured in Boat Accident

JUPITER, FL – June 12, 2017 – It was just another night in March, when Calaveras Cantina team member Dustin Lackford was injured in a shocking boat accident. He was emergency medevac’d to St. Mary’s Trauma Center where he had his crushed kidney removed and was treated for numerous breaks and injuries. Following his treatments, and a prolonged coma from the traumatic brain injury he suffered, Lackford is now awake and slowly improving. The medical bills are adding up though. With family out of state, and no way to work, Lackford has a great need for assistance. To aid with his bills, including those needed for continuing care, Calaveras Cantina is hosting a special fundraiser for Dustin Lackford on Friday, July 7, 2017 beginning at 9 pm. The popular hot spot will be donating 100 percent of all sales directly to Lackford and his family. The evening will include live music with DJ, raffles, and giveaways throughout the event and of course the chance to enjoy the restaurant’s award winning culinary creations and tasty libations.

“We were devastated when we heard what happened to Dustin,” says Calaveras Cantina “El Presidente” Curtis Peery. “We are a close team at Calaveras, and every single one of us has been rooting for him. This is our way of stepping up to do what we can to help him.”

In addition to the Calaveras Cantina fundraiser for Dustin Lackford on July 7, there is a GoFundMe page set up for those who may not be able to attend, but still wish to help: https://www.youcaring.com/nancydustinlackford-784864.

“Right now, Dustin needs to focus on getting better,” continues Peery. “He has already beaten the odds waking from his coma, but it is going to be a slow recovery. I personally know this is a very caring community. Dustin is one of our own, and we ask that everyone in the community join us in supporting Dustin and his family during this challenging time.”

Calaveras Cantina is located at 125 Dockside Drive in Harbourside Place along the beautiful Intracoastal Waterway. For additional info, please visit www.calaverascantina.com or call (561) 320-9661.
