Support Chuck Varga: GWAR Fundraiser for a Founding Member Battling Cancer
GWAR has initiated a fundraiser to support Chuck Varga, a founding member of the band known for his role as Sexecutioner, who is currently battling cancer. Chuck's wife, Bambi, has had to quit her job to take care of him full-time, and the funds raised will help cover medical expenses, hospice care, specialized equipment, and nursing support, as well as their living expenses in Brooklyn, New York. Fans, known as Bohabs, can contribute by purchasing a new T-shirt featuring Varga's artwork or bidding on Sexecutioner's stage prop axe, both available on GWAR's website.
Bob Gorman, who portrays Bonesnapper, acknowledges Chuck Varga's significant contributions to GWAR and the Slave Pit collective. Varga's artistic vision, illustrations, character designs, and performances have left a lasting impact on GWAR's universe and inspired artists and fans worldwide. The fundraiser aims to provide support to Chuck and Bambi during this challenging time and celebrate Chuck's enduring legacy within the GWAR community.
Chuck Varga's artistic influence can be heard in GWAR's music, including tracks like "Sexecutioner" from "Scumdogs of the Universe" (1990), "Pussy Planet" (spoken word) from "America Must Be Destroyed" (1992), and "Rag Na Rok" from "Ragnarök" (1995). The fundraiser not only aims to assist the Vargas but also serves as a tribute to Chuck's invaluable contributions to GWAR and its dedicated fan base. Fans are encouraged to show their support by participating in the fundraiser and honoring Chuck Varga's artistic legacy.
