Sullivan’s Steakhouse will hold a fundraiser Sept. 30 in honor of Chico Garcia, an LSU associate cheerleading coach who suffered a spinal cord injury Aug. 27 in a boating accident, according to head spirit coordinator Pauline Zernott.
Our Lady of the Lake hosted a campus-wide blood drive for Garcia last week on Tower Drive. The hospital vowed to take $15 off Garcia’s medical costs for each pint of blood donated.
The blood drive brought in 183 viable donors and raised $2,745 for Garcia’s treatment.
Sullivan’s will donate proceeds made from cover charges and food and drink specials in support of Garcia.
“It’s incredible support that our entire community is showing,” Zernott said. “We’re just very grateful for that. Unfortunately, his outlooks on his injury aren’t great, so we’re just open for all the support we can
