Local outdoor enthusiast and Opal Ultra Nightclub’s disc jockey David Aaron had a devastating parachute landing accident June 22.

Aaron sustained multiple injuries, including injury to his spinal cord and broken back, for which he needed eight vertebrae fused. He is diagnosed as an “incomplete paraplegic” and recovering at Renown Rehabilitation Center in Reno, where he could stay for another six to 10 weeks. Then he will need to continue physical therapy and rehabilitation.

A benefit auction on Aug. 20 at 6pm at MontBleu will help raise funds for medical bills and living expenses.

This event will feature performances by disc jockeys Chris English, Kennan, Rick Gee, DJ Mark Twyman, Half-Track, and MoFunk. The event will feature a live charity auction, silent auctions, raffle prizes, dance floor, and Red Bull bar. All proceeds, including beverage sales, will be donated to Aaron.

The event producers are looking for items for our silent auctions, live auction, raffles, as well as liquor to stock the bar.

Cash/check donations can be accepted at Bank of America under David Aaron Benefit Fund No. 3250-2946-3866 or mailed to 1165 Kulow St., South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150 c/o David Aaron.
