Luv4Logan Gala Ticket Sales Open Wednesday

Tickets will go on sale Wednesday for the Luv4Logan Gala charity event, to be held Friday, May 3, at Aronimink Golf Club.

The event is held in honor of a young Tredyffrin resident, Logan Schweiter, who suffered a near-drowning experience two years ago.

On July 25, 2011, then 12-year-old Logan joined friends to play in a gushing South Wayne creek, but he was swept away by the current and carried through underground culverts for 10 minutes.

Logan was rescued from the creek and survived, but still has a long road to recovery ahead of him. Proceeds from the Luv4Logan Gala benefit HelpHopeLive, to assist with Logan's ongoing injury-related expenses.

The organizers of the event sent an email to supporters Tuesday informing them that the tickets are expected to sell out quickly:

The demand for tickets continues to exceed our capacity for attendees, and we sincerely regret that we cannot host everyone. We are so grateful for the continued support from this community for Logan and the Schweiters! If we cannot honor your desire for tickets, please do consider making a donation to support Logan at the HelpHopeLive website by clicking here.
