Rob Gangi of Palm City was transferred from a North Carolina hospital to a rehabilitation facility Wednesday after suffering a head injury Dec. 26 that left him in a coma.

Colleagues nationwide are stepping up to raise money to help him with what may be a lengthy recovery.

Gangi’s coma is the result of a skateboarding accident that happened while visiting family in North Carolina over the holidays. Even though he was partially out of the coma, he isn’t out of the woods yet. He still is being treated out of state, which means his insurance will not cover all his expenses. So friends are organizing fundraising events to help cover costs.

Patrick Stracuzzi and Keri Burgess of RE/MAX of Stuart are organizing an inspirational seminar Feb. 8 at The Grace Place Community Church, 1550 S.E. Salerno Road in Stuart where they hope to raise $50,000.

The RE/MAX sponsored event will feature at least five inspirational speakers from around North America who are donating their time and travel in order to help Gangi, who is involved in Southeast Florida Honor Flight, a group dedicated to providing veterans with free flights to visit the National World War II Memorial.

Event speakers are some of the biggest big names in the real estate business. National Hall of Fame speaker and trainer Floyd Wickman. Bill Renaud Top Producer for Ottawa, Ontario, Canada will be also presenting. Allan Domb, who is the No. 1 real estate broker in the nation for two decades. Top producing Maryland agent, Pat Hiban. Top producing ERA agent Alexis Bolin from Pensacola and Patrick Stracuzzi, the No. 1 RE/MAX agent in 2008 in Florida. Moderating the Event will be Mega-Realtor Mike Maher from Kansas City.

Gangi’s brother Rick said the outpouring of love and support has been overwhelming.

While it is not known how much the family will need to cover expenses, Rick Gangi said whatever is donated will find a good cause as the family will donate any left over to causes such as creating awareness about the importance of wearing helmets.

Tickets for this event are $50 each and 100% of the Proceeds will be donated to the Rob Gangi Family Fund
