benefit for 9 year old Bella Tucker

Posted by Dan Sleep on October 1, 2010 at 3:02pm in Performances, How to Play, Lessons, Concerts
Bella Tucker is 9 years old and is now a quadriplegic as a result of having a near fatal infection.

Some of my Facebook friends are in the processing or organizing a fund raising guitar raffle in cooperation with Desiree Bassett and Luna Guitars. The Tucker's medical bills are astronomical!

I have tentatively volunteered to donate one of my guitars to the raffle and am wondering if there are any other builders who would care to join me and donate a guitar as well.

I don't have the specifics yet, but I will post them as soon as I know more.

In the meantime, you can read about Bella at the following site:

If you would like to donate a CBG, let me know and I can coordinate our efforts.

    Update *** There have been a few logistical complications, but the end result is that we will not be able to conduct an online raffle for the guitar/s. What is going to happen is that I am going to donate a CBG and send it to Tupelo Hall in New Hampshire. They will put it on display to promote a drawing that will take place at the concert on December 4th. If anyone has something they would consider donating, like an amp, instructional video, slide, whatever, let me know and I will foward the information along to you.

    Visit the web site for further information:

    We are still working on ironing out the bugs on this raffle. I hope to know more in the next few days.

    We may have worked out the kinks in this project, I will post more when I know for sure.


    Thanks.

    Well, it looks like the Internet raffle portion of this endeavor may not happen. However well intentioned, it appears that this would constitute gambling and could be considered illegal. We may have to just sell raffle tickets at the concert in December. Stay tuned.

    At the moment, the plan is to conduct the raffle at the Benefit Concert on December 4th. See this page for the details:

    If I donate a CBG, and TC donates an amp, maybe someone else may chip in with a slide or other accessory. Maybe we could raffle off a CBG package with CBG, amp, and accessories??
