    In Memory of Micah "Cash" Gaudio

    Micah "Cash" Gaudio was tragically shot and killed in the driveway of his family's home in Lynchburg, Virginia, on September 30, 2024. The 19-year-old student and former varsity athlete was followed home by a stranger in what police described as a senseless and unprovoked random act of violence. Cash managed to call his mother during the incident; he sadly passed away in her arms as emergency services were being contacted.

    Cash's Lasting Legacy

    Cash was widely known in his community as a charismatic, deeply faithful student leader at Liberty Christian Academy and Smith Mountain Lake Christian Academy. Over 2,500 people attended his funeral. To preserve his memory, his family launched the Live Like Cash Gaudio Foundation, which funds student-athlete scholarships and hosts tribute events like local "Orange Out" basketball/football games, car shows and golf tournaments.
