Patrice Luciano is a very special member of the Reno and Sparks community in Northern Nevada. She has given so much of her life and energy to uplifting people and the community as a whole through her work as the owner/operator of the late Paddy and Irene’s Irish Pub and The Ranch House. She has performed all over Northern Nevada and California as an amazing country artist, sharing her heart and her art with tens of thousands of people. She is a mother, wife, and beloved friend. She served her country as a member of the Air Force. Now, it’s time for the community to give back to one of its own.

Patrice is now doing the work of being a survivor. She had been diagnosed with breast cancer and has already undergone a double mastectomy. Due to a terrible set of circumstances, Patrice’s family has lost its safety cushion of savings and is about to be hit even harder because she will be unable to work due to the six months of chemotherapy that she is getting ready to have to endure.

I have been playing drums for Patrice for four years as of this Fourth of July. Patrice has kept me employed and helped me feed my children. She has helped me when I was going through a divorce. Patrice gave me work when I had no prospects and was in danger of being in the streets. She hasn’t just done this for me; she has given to so many. That’s why I am asking for $50,000 to help her and her family make it through this harrowing time for her family.
