SPECIAL EVENT FOR TROY OLSON & FAMILY
On Saturday January 17, 2009 we will be holding a special event in honor of and to raise money for Troy Olson and his family. The event will begin at 3:00 p.m. and will be held at the Ukrainian Center located at
301 Main Street Northeast, Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The event will include a dinner, bake sale and silent auction. There will be a
party immediately following the dinner at Scott & Troy’s 1029 Bar in Northeast, Minneapolis.
On January 25, 2008, Troy was involved in a very serious snowmobile accident. He hit a tree and suffered from a punctured lung, numerous broken ribs, a broken collarbone, a broken scapula, a lacerated liver, and a brachial plexus injury to his right arm.
On November 10, 2008 he underwent surgery for a muscle and nerve transplant. The muscle transplant surgery was unsuccessful. So far, however, the nerve transplant appears to be working.
As many of you know, Troy is co-owner of Scott & Troy’s 1029 Bar. Both he and his brother-in-law Scott actively work at the bar. Troy has only been able to work very limited hours since the accident and has many, many months (if not years) of expensive physical therapy ahead of him and might only partially regain the use of his right arm.
Both Troy and his wife Stacy and their three children (Jake age 13, Nick age 11, and Angelique age 9) are active in both the community and their church. Troy is also an active member of the City Heat Motorcycle Club, which was founded in order to support local charities and police officers.
