1500 People To Attend Sold Out 'Night For The Lukens Family'

VALLEY FORGE, PA — A total of 1500 supporters will attend Saturday's sold out event to support the family of Montgomery County Sheriff's Deputy Bryan Lukens, whose two sons passed away in a tragic fire in Schwenksville in December.

The "Night for the Lukens Family" event, organized by the Montgomery County Hero's Fund, will directly benefit the family. The Hero's Fund is paying for the cost of the event, so all proceeds will directly benefit the family.

Furthermore, the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office has also set up a Lukens Family Fund. One hundred percent of donations will go to the family.

The event sold 1,500 tickets, selling out rapidly, according to organizers. A fundraising goal of $200,000 was stated at the outset.

The devastating Dec. 13 fire in Schwenksville killed Bryan Lukens Jr., 11, and Parker Lukens, 6. Dep. Bryan Lukens, his wife Tracy and their daughter Soffia all were injured in the blaze.

A GoFundMe campaign has raised an astounding $375,000 for the family. However, officials have noted that a portion of that money is taken by GoFundMe, whereas all of the money raised at the Night for the Lukens Family will go directly to the family.

Checks to the Lukens Family Fund can be mailed to:
