Fundraiser Scheduled for Injured Amtrak Passenger Aaron Salazar

A fundraising event has been set up to raise money for Aaron Salazar, the Portland State University student mysteriously injured while riding Amtrak in Truckee, Calif.

According to the Facebook event:

The Reno community will gather on June 9th at the University of Nevada, Reno for a fundraiser titled, “Love For Aaron”. Aaron Salazar was brutally attacked in Truckee, California, as his family believes it was because Aaron self identifies with the LGBT community. Aaron is currently at Renown Regional Medical Center and in critical condition. His family needs our help to pay for medical and lawyer costs.

There will be food and dessert sales, entertainment, children’s games, cultural dances, raffles, jump houses, face painting, and many more fun activities for the entire family.
