The Cottage Rehabilitation Hospital Foundation presents a screening of Charged: The Eduardo Garcia Story at the West Wind Drive-In in Goleta on Thursday, Oct. 8, at 7 p.m. (gates open at 6 p.m.). Proceeds from the event will benefit the Cottage Rehabilitation Hospital, a program of Cottage Health that includes Santa Ynez Valley Cottage Hospital and other regional hospitals.
The screening will be followed by a behind-the-scenes discussion feature with Eduardo Garcia, the subject of the film. A classically trained chef and avid outdoorsman, Garcia suffered a massive electric shock while elk hunting in 2011. Charged follows Garcia’s rehabilitation journey after his injuries resulted in the amputation of his left hand and half of his left arm.
Admission to this fundraiser screening is $75 per vehicle (covering up to four people), which includes a complimentary box of hors d’oeuvres and dessert for two. Additional boxes can be purchased at checkout. VIP tickets, which include preferred parking and a premium hors d’oeuvres box, are available for $300 each.
