Father David Farr, Orwigsburg, said Logan's family wanted to give back to the Four Diamonds organization. He said fund helped provide financial support for their son during several hospitals for various surgeries and treatments.Sandy, Logan's mother, said he Logan owned multiple trucks and would always attend car shows. Family members said that Logan had just bought a Ford F-350 truck only a few months before he died.All types of trucks were welcome during the event, not just diesel. Family members hope to continue the shows every year at Heisler's.According to their website, the Four Diamonds Fund has served more than 2,000 families, primarily from the central Pennsylvania area, but also from surrounding states, since 1972.Approximately 100 new families a year become Four Diamonds families, with commitments to these children extending into their adulthood.
