Sean

Party with a Purpose
Sean Lough (AKA 'Ranch') was a dear friend, brother and son who tragically passed away in June of 2001 as a result of a mountain biking accident.

We are proud to say that 100% of the proceeds of this event benefit a scholarship given in his name. Awarded each year to an individual who exemplifies the qualities Ranch possessed; a high GPA, an economic need and, most of all, a hearty personality and love for life.
