Fundraising Campaign Started on Behalf of Sag Harbor Resident Killed in Drunk Driving Accident

A fundraising campaign was recently started to raise money for a foundation started in honor of Sag Harbor resident Paul Hansen, who was killed in drunk driving accident last month.

Tom Morrissey, Hansen’s brother-in-law, started a campaign on GoFundMe on Monday as a way to raise money for the LUAP Foundation, which was created to create awareness on the drunk driving epidemic especially on the East End of Long Island.

“We intend to make LUAP synonomous with “Don’t Drive Drunk/Don’t Ride with Drunk,” Morrissey wrote on the page.

According to the page, those who donate $20 to the foundation will become a LUAP member and will receive a LUAP bumper sticker, which is to be placed at the center of the car’s front bumper.

Those who donate $100 will become a Founder member and will receive a first edition bumper sticker and a choice of one high-res 8x10 print from one of three local photographers from Tributes to PAUL.

Those who donate a $500 will become a Platinum member and will receive a first edition bumper sticker and a custom framed high-res large format print from Paul’s Memorial Collection.

For donors under the age of 22, they could become a Young LUAPER member and receive a first edition bumper sticker with a $5 donation.

The goal of the page is to raise a total of $100,000. Since it was created, a total of $6,045 has been raised.

“Paul Hansen lived life to its fullest,” the page reads. “Everyday was an adventure.”
