BALLWIN, Mo. – A benefit concert was held Saturday night at the Sky Music Lounge in Ballwin to support Antonio Tate, a beloved St. Luke’s Hospital worker who suffered a stroke and is now unable to work.
Tate, known for his dedication and positive spirit at St. Luke’s Hospital, experienced a life-changing stroke that left him unable to continue his work. In response, his coworkers organized a benefit concert to raise funds to assist him and his family during this difficult time.
“He’s always had a bright smile for us all and has really lent a lot of support to us in the operating room,” said Mike O’Neil, a colleague from St. Luke’s Hospital. “That’s why we’re here tonight to help him out.”
The concert featured performances by Nashville artist Javier Mendoza and local band Chainstay, which includes one of St. Luke’s own anesthetists. The event was donation-based, with all proceeds going directly to Tate and his family.
“I appreciate it! I’m so happy! I appreciate what they’ve done for me!” Tate said.
Saturday night’s event was a testament to the strong sense of community and support among the staff at St. Luke’s Hospital, as they came together to aid a colleague in need.
