In May, Lake Tahoe resident Sean Riley suffered a traumatic brain injury as a result of a succession of blackouts and falls.

Sean is an off-road tour guide for Lake Tahoe Adventures and his wife, Georgette, works for the Lake Tahoe Visitors Authority and Lake Tahoe South Shore Chamber of Commerce.

Sean has been hospitalized all month, but plans are to bring him home soon. He is doing well, 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.

Not only is the care incredibly expensive, it is also not subsidized by programs Georgette has been applying for. In addition, she has had to decrease her work hours (and income) to travel to Renown Medical Center in Reno since the May incident.

On Aug. 15 from 5-8pm there will be a Beach Bash Benefit at Zephyr Cove Resort to help the family with the ongoing care expenses, which are anticipated to be as much as $2,000/day until Sean’s condition improves. There will be a beach BBQ dinner with live music and a no-host bar, silent auction, live auction, and raffle. Funds raised will be used to help pay for Seans’s continued medical and therapeutic care.
