Calanni Foundation, also known as “Live Like Luca”, was formed in honor of Luca Calanni, the son of Wanakah members Ashley and Bodge Calanni. Luca suddenly and tragically passed away from complications of the flu in January at the age of 11. Luca loved the life he had and appreciated all of the opportunities afforded to him that so many other children don’t have access to. The Luca S. Calanni Foundation has been formed to live out the legacy of Luca here in our Western New York community. For more information visit www.livelikeluca.com.
