Art show raises funds for student's surgery
The Zach Graas Benefit raised $3,200, with 50 pieces of donated art sold throughout the evening. About 200 people attended the auction, which contained 65 pieces.
A silent art auction to benefit a student with cancer raised more than $3,000 at Final Fridays.
Graas, an sophomore from Olathe, was diagnosed last September with fibrillary astrocytoma, a series of brain tumors. After a year of chemotherapy, Graas learned he will need a tumor resection surgery. The surgeons will keep him awake for the surgery while
they try to remove any cancerous cells and attempt to restore movement in his right hand.
Rachel Forrest, a junior from Edmond, Okla., and a friend of Grass', organized the benefit to raise money for the costs of the surgery.
"It was very well-received." Forrest said. "There was artwork that everyone could enjoy for a good cause."
The show featured paintings, drawings, prints, ceramics, photography and textiles by University students and faculty, and local artists.
— Rachel Salyer
Graas' surgery is scheduled for Dec. 16 at the University of California, San Francisco.
