“For the Benefit of Statts”
In the early morning of June 28, 2008, two of our Savannah neighbors were shot in Ardsley Park. Nearly one year later, both men have fought for recovery, coping with repercussions of a senseless crime. One of those men, Jason Statts, is still fighting to normalize a life altered, having suffered a serious spinal cord injury from the gunshot. Today, he remains paralyzed from the chest down with only partial use of his hands, requiring near constant care from others.
While Jason Statts has made measurable and encouraging progress since the attack, he and his wife Lyra continue to learn how to live and cope with the new lifestyle they have had to adopt in the wake of this tragic incident, which is why the Friends of Jason Statts are sponsoring “For the Benefit of Statts” – a benefit concert featuring food, music, libation and merriment – to take place on Friday, June 12, 2009.
Proceeds from ticket sales and the event’s raffle and extensive silent auction will assist Jason and Lyra Statts with the overwhelming financial burden they face. With Statts’ slow, ongoing recovery, the family has had to renovate much of their house and yard to make it wheelchair accessible – a slow and expensive process, even with assistance from friends and the community. The couple has had to purchase a specialized vehicle and equipment to accommodate their unique needs. Medical bills from the first few months of recovery are particularly overwhelming when coupled with the ongoing expenses of continued care including physical therapy, frequent doctor visits, and the purchase of medical supplies.
Jason, Lyra, their families and friends have survived an unthinkable event. The community’s response to the crime through an outpouring of support, offers of assistance and active friendship have been humbling, sustaining and appreciated. Yet, the Statts’ still carry a tremendous burden for a young, talented and vibrant couple. “For the Benefit of Statts” will once again bring our community together in gratitude and generosity to help Jason and Lyra Statts with the considerable financial challenges they will continue to face for the foreseeable future.
It is more than an event; It is a community’s response to a friend in need.
“For the Benefit of Statts” will take place on Friday, June 12, 2009 at Savannah Station. Doors open for auction preview at 4:30 p.m. and the event will begin at 6pm. The benefit will include an array of live entertainment acts including Joe Nelson, the Josh Maul Blues Band, The 8-Tracks and DJ Emkay. The raffle and auction boast art from some of the area’s best artists, vacation rentals, and many other incredible items from local businesses and retailers.
The $25 advanced ticket price includes tapas dishes from provided by a number of Savannah’s finest restaurants and caterers and complimentary wine and beer (provided by Moon River Brewing Company). There will also be a cash bar.
Tickets go on sale Saturday, May 23 at the following downtown locations: Arcanum, 422 Whitaker St.; Primary Art Supply, 14 E. Broughton St.; The Jinx (cash only), 127 W. Congress St. Tickets will be $30 at the door the night of the benefit. More information can be found at www.stattsbenefit.com.
