Over the years, Scott Craig, partner, and GM of Riva Grill has donated thousands of dollars to numerous charities and fundraisers in Lake Tahoe.  It would be hard to find a time when Scott denied a request for a good cause. 

We now have an opportunity to give back and help Scott and his daughter, Emily get through a series of tragic events.  In 2016, Scott’s wife Jennifer was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer.  Doctors gave her 2 ½ years, but sadly, Jennifer barely made it 1 year to the month of diagnosis.  Her sudden passing shook Scott and his daughter to the core.  But with the support of family, friends, and his employer, the Riva Grill, the were determined to move on.

A year later, Scott noticed some odd symptoms in his arm and hand.  Being a past power lifter, it was a bit alarming so when it did not go away, he reached out for medical attention.  A year after losing his wife to cancer, Scott found out he had ALS, as also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease.  It is a nervous system disorder that wears away nerve cells in your brain and spinal cord.  Currently there is no known cure or treatment that halts or reverses the progression of ALS. 

For past year, Scott continued to manage Riva Grill until he could no longer.  He is now faced with enormous medical expenses as well as the need to somehow continue saving for his 17-year-old daughter, Emily.  By the end of the year, Scott will need to leave Lake Tahoe and move in to get help from his family in Oklahoma. 

We are holding a Going Away Party on June 9^th with the generous support of Tom Turner, owner of The Riva Grill.  During his party, we are holding a Silent Auction and a Live Auction to generate money to help Scott and his daughter. 
This is an opportunity for you to help give back to Scott for all he has done for our community. 

“No one is more cherished in this world than someone who lightens the burden of another.”

Will you take this opportunity to give back?
