Curia on the Drag and Sweetwater Organic Coffee have teamed up to hold the Full Moon Brunch Bash in support of Kyle Giest’s cancer research fundraiser.
The event will be from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 24 at Curia’s on the Drag (2029 NW 6th St.).
This fundraising event is hosted by Giest, who graduated from UF in 2014. In 2018, while living in Gainesville, Giest was diagnosed with a rare soft tissue cancer called Ewing’s Sarcoma and was treated at UF Shands Hospital.
After three years in remission, Giest’s cancer returned. He moved to Pittsburgh to live with his mom and receive treatment.
Giest will be returning to Gainesville for the first time since being re-diagnosed in 2022 to kick off The Road to Rachel Fundraiser.
Tickets are $40 and include brunch, coffee tasting and raffle tickets.
