THE BRIAN DUX ASSIST FUND PRESENTS THE MAIN EVENT

Last November, Orchard Park native and former Canisius College basketball player Brian Dux was seriously injured in a single-car accident in Britain. Dux was the star point guard for the Guilford Heat where he had just been named the league’s MVP, but after suffering a diffuse axonal injury from severe head trauma and being left unattended at the scene of the accident for close to two hours, it was clear his toughest battle was going to be off the court. Dux spent months in recovery in Britain before returning to Buffalo via medical plane to undergo intensive rehabilitation at ECMC. He has made significant progress, recently returning to his parents’ home in Orchard Park. The road to full recovery is not only bent with physical and mental challenges, but also financial ones. Showing the kind of Buffalo spirit we almost take for granted, friends and family have come to the rescue with the “Main Event.” Sportscaster John Murphy (“Voice of the Bills”) will be emceeing the event, fittingly taking place the same night as the NCAA Final Four Basketball Tournament, which will be broadcast on large screen TVs. There will be live music, auctions, food, drinks and much more. Visit brianduxassistfund.com for more info.
