Looking Back

Celebrate Life and Music with Team Luke

Thank you to everyone who joined us at Asbury Lanes on April 1, 2022 to celebrate the start of Donate Life Month and what would have been Luke's 21st birthday while listening to live performances from Best Of Foo (Foo Fighters Tribute) and U2 Nation (U2 Tribute)!
 
It was our biggest Celebrate Life and Music event yet with 524 tickets sold and we helped raise awareness about the importance of organ and tissue donation while people enjoyed a fun night out.
 
Special thanks to the bands, Asbury Lanes, the Sharing Network Foundation and everyone who helped promote this event.
 
All proceeds went to the
Sharing Network Foundation via Team Luke.

Thank you for supporting Team Luke
and the Sharing Network Foundation as we honor Luke David Bautista along with other organ and tissue donors, pay tribute to recipients, offer hope to those who continue to wait and remember the lives lost while waiting for the Gift of Life.
