On July 5th the artist Scott Andresen was involved in a devastating accident; while riding his bike he was struck from behind by a car at full speed leaving him with major spinal trauma. Once diagnosed Scott underwent an emergency 9.5 hour surgery, spent three weeks in the ICU, and another three in a spinal rehabilitation facility before his release. Now home, his recovery has begun, but it will be extremely long and difficult, thankfully the doctors believe that a nearly full recovery is possible. Unfortunately, even with insurance, the costs involved with this tragedy are astronomical, and he needs our help.
‘Be Thankful’ the title of the famous William DeVaughn track, and Scott’s favorite song, seemed a fitting title for the evening. An amazing selection of art generously donated by his friends and peers will be auctioned to help defer his medical expenses. The National Transplant Assistance Fund, a non-profit that assists with fundraising for catastrophic injury, has offered their support; this partnership will allow all auction items to be tax deductible. People from all aspects of Scott’s life have pooled their talents to make this event a success. It will be a night that should not be missed and an opportunity to help someone who has continually been there to help others.
