Keating survived, but suffered serious injuries and has been in the hospital since. In wake of the accident, Michael Hickerson, a former Illinois Valley High School classmate of Keating’s, thought of holding a benefit and was searching for a venue. He found Gabriella Salas, owner of The G Spot Bar and Grill, who jumped at the opportunity. “If we don’t take care of each other, who’s going to?” Salas said. The two decided a raffle should also be involved, and they recruited Heather Thoms- Denham to organize it.

Also, Keating’s mother flew in from Alaska and is staying until her son recovers. Salas said she hopes the benefit will show the Valley what the people can do for each other. “We need to take care of each other,” Salas said the day after the benefit. “I do believe the whole community should think like that, and we proved it last night that we do.” lb.
