We thank all those who came to support Live for Lou at our 6th Annual Fundraiser on Saturday, September 7. Despite Hurricane Dorian looming offshore, waves pounding on the beach, and winds blowing at the Beachcomber, Live for Lou hosted our best fundraiser yet.
The sun came out, the crowd cheered, and dancing ensued (led by The Boston Naturals). Approximately $70,000 was raised because of our supporters, 500+ of whom attended. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. Because of you we will continue to make a difference on Cape Cod.

The Live for Lou Fund is an advised fund of The Cape Cod Foundation. As a component fund, The Cape Cod Foundation serves as the 501(c)(3) public charity for the Live for Lou Fund. It is dedicated to honoring and celebrating the life of Louie LeBart by grabbing the baton he carried during his brief but exceptional life and inspiring others to continue where he left off.
When Louie died at 25, he left behind an enormous circle of friends, family, acquaintances, co-workers and teammates who were forever affected by his athleticism, compassion, curiosity and beauty.
Live for Lou intends to continue promoting his inspirational qualities and benefiting others through scholarships, community service, compassion and education.
Louie was a deeply intense and multi-faceted individual who had a knack for bringing out the best in people, whether it was through sports, deep conversation, comforting bear hugs or just leading by example. Once you were his friend, he wouldn’t let you down.
Live for Lou intends to extend his legacy in a multi-prong way.

By all accounts, Louie was a success in life. And through Live for Lou, he will continue to inspire others and to make the world a stronger, more compassionate and beautiful place.
“To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 – 1882) American Essayist & Poet
