Luke Haseloff Memorial Fund

Those of you who knew Luke knew what a kindhearted, fun-loving, and generous person was. Luke had an ease about him that was extraordinary—an effortless calm and grace that instantly put others at ease.  Luke was also endlessly loving and supportive of his friends and family, beloved by everyone who knew him. As Nicole put it so beautifully: "Loving Luke was the easiest, most natural thing I've ever done."

Luke truly loved people. His favorite thing in life was connecting people—friends and colleagues alike. As a born connector, he touched the lives of tens of thousands of people. 

By now you've no doubt already heard the unthinkable news. Luke died, suddenly and unexpectedly, in the early morning hours of Tuesday, September 11th. He was only 45 years old.

We are raising funds to help cover Luke's end-of-life expenses, including the cost of a public memorial to take place in New York in mid-October, as well as living expenses and moving costs for Nicole as she goes through this transition. Any excess funds will be donated to Luke's two favorite charities, WNYC New York Public Radio and The Natural Resources Defense Council.

Thank you all for your love and generosity. Luke would have loved how we've all come together to support each other amid our grief and loss.
