Artist, Maxwell Sang has lived a colorful life. She’s humored, intelligent and doesn’t keep much food in the fridge.
This summer she devoted her artistic prowess to ‘Petals for Greta’, unveiling 'White Lily' to thirty guests at her home on July 24th. She painted 'White Lily' specifically for the Benefit because it was Greta's favorite flower.
Greta Schoenemann loved art, a bit of gardening and mingling with a crowd of good people. Saturday, September 7th, these qualities and a summer of diligent effort converge and come to a celebratory pause; ‘Petals for Greta’ is a means for something Greta loved while she was here, art and friends. As well, it serves a greater good.

Greta's Run is a 5k Run/Walk & Fundraiser founded in memory of Greta Schoenemann, a WHS freshman who died from injuries sustained on 9/11/02 when a tree limb fell on her and a table of friends as they ate lunch. Founded by Greta's childhood friends Ben Nanna and Jayne Ruotolo, all proceeds will benefit new and existing special needs programs at the Westfield Area Y. A gesture that would be close to Greta's heart because her sister Elise has Cerebral Palsy. To learn more about Greta's Run or to register, visit the 5K's website.
