By providing financial assistance, guiding families through their journey, and creating a network of support, Team Luke Hope for Minds is making a difference for countless families facing the unexpected and overwhelming challenges of brain injuries.

The Team Luke Hope for Minds Story

In 2015, a 9-year-old boy named Luke Siegel was in a golf cart playing at a friend’s house when the cart tipped over. Luke was pinned to the ground and suffered a cardiac arrest as a result of head and chest trauma. Life changed forever for the Siegel family on that July afternoon. Luke spent the next six months undergoing extensive treatment, brain surgeries, and therapy. “My little Luke was the greatest fighter I’ve ever seen,” says Tim Siegel, Luke's father. The local Lubbock community rallied around the Siegel family after the accident, coining phrases like “Fight Like Luke” and “Pray for Luke,” which became symbols of hope and strength.

In 2008, 11-year-old JD suffered an anoxic brain injury from a non-fatal drowning incident. The family’s "normal life" was upended in an instant as JD began extensive treatment for his injuries. They struggled with a lack of information and guidance, along with mounting expenses not covered by insurance. Yet again, their community stepped up to provide emotional and financial support, showing the power of coming together during times of crisis.

In August 2021, our hero Luke gained his wings after complications related to COVID-19. Despite his challenges, Luke inspired thousands around the world without ever saying a word, showing the world what resilience and courage truly mean. His legacy lives on through the incredible work of Team Luke Hope for Minds, helping children and families who find themselves in similar situations to the Siegel family’s own journey.

Why This Partnership Matters

At INTENNSE, we believe in the power of sports, community, and shared purpose. By partnering with Team Luke Hope for Minds, we hope to shine a light on the vital need for support for families dealing with brain injuries. Luke and JD’s stories remind us of the strength that lies in unity, and we're proud to play a small role in helping continue their legacy. Whether it’s through bidding on the signed racquet or simply raising awareness, every action counts in providing hope to families who need it most.

Together, we can make a real difference. We invite you to join us—whether it’s by attending the event, placing a bid, or spreading the word. Let’s show these families that they’re not alone, and that there’s a community ready to stand with them, every step of the way.
