Jeff is raising this fundraiser for Zach and Britt Schelhaas and their sons, Preston and Ashton, after the heartbreaking loss of Levi. On Tuesday night, Levi was riding his dirt bike with his younger brother Ashton at their private track at home. While Zach was helping Ashton with his bike, Levi went out for what became his final lap. A tragic accident happened on one of the jumps, and Zach and Ashton found him moments later. Levi was airlifted to North Memorial, and everyone was holding onto hope that he would receive the medical care he needed. Devastatingly, the family soon learned that Levi had suffered a significant head injury and had no brain activity. He also had a broken shoulder and a collapsed lung. This unimaginable loss has changed the Schelhaas family forever.

The funds raised will help Zach, Britt, Preston, and Ashton with funeral expenses, medical bills, and everyday needs like meals and household bills as they try to navigate the days ahead and grieve the loss of Levi. Any support for the Schelhaas family during this incredibly painful time would mean so much. If someone would prefer to give by check or in another way, they can reach out directly to Jeff Essig to coordinate. Please do not contact the family directly about donations, as they are already carrying more than anyone should have to bear right now. Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and support.
