Hello Trumansburg Community,

Last week, Lucas Vann, a 16-year-old Trumansburg High School student and multi-sport athlete, was seriously injured in a weight training accident. He was airlifted to Upstate University Hospital, where he underwent emergency surgery.

Thankfully, the surgery was successful, and Lucas is now beginning his recovery. While this is encouraging news, his road to recovery will be long, and the Vann family is facing significant unexpected expenses, including travel, lodging, meals, and other costs associated with Lucas’s care.

Anyone who knows Lucas knows he is much more than an athlete. He is a dedicated teammate who consistently puts others before himself. Whether on the field, in the weight room, or around school, Lucas is known for his huge heart, positive attitude, and willingness to help those around him. Now, it’s our turn as a community to rally around him.

Many members of our community have asked how they can help. One of the most meaningful ways to support Lucas and his family during this difficult time is through a financial contribution. Every donation, no matter the size, will help ease the burden on the Vann family so they can focus on what matters most...Lucas’s healing.

If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser and keeping Lucas and the entire Vann family in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support. Together, we can help Lucas and his family through this challenging time.
