In honor of Trevor Searle, a Lake Travis High School senior who died
earlier this year in a skateboarding accident, friends and family are
holding a
Families for Families benefit show on June 3 from 5 to 8 p.m.
Searle was a founder of FFF, a Lakeway-based nonprofit organization
that assists families in need with purchasing Christmas presents and
raising money for heal
th care costs. Families can fill out a form to
become an “adopted” family on the nonprofit’s website.
Searle’s friend Scott Osment came up with idea for the benefit
concert when he was unable to attend the funeral, but still wanted to do
something in his honor.
Almost 400 people have RSVP’ed for the event on the Facebook site and
the organizers said they expect even more, since there will be many
students from Lake Travis High School who will want to support the
cause.
Three bands—Orange Peel, Dead Swagger and Marshall and the Moondance—will perform at the show, being held at the Hill Country Galleria amphitheater
in Bee Cave, 12700 Hill Country Blvd. A Trevor Tribute Band will also
play Searle's favorite songs and some originals.
Austin Williams will also present a reading in tribute to Searles at the
Lake Travis High School Baccalaureate Service on Sunday, May 29 at the
Emmaus Catholic Church, 1718 Lohmans Crossing Road, Lakeway, at 2:30
p.m.
At the event, there will be an opportunity to make donations and to purchase "Live Like Trevor" wristbands.
