Signed
by Tom DeLonge, Rise Against, Neon Trees, and Thrice
The
Music Saves Lives Gibson Guitar Auction is set to feature 4 one of a kind 2009
Gibson Guitars. Three of the Gibson Guitars
have custom graphic. Tom DeLonge
from Blink 182 signed the “So So Happy” designed Gibson Guitar recently at the
only US Blink 182 show in 2011. The band Rise Against signed a one of a kind Chantal
De Felice designed Gibson Guitar and the band Thrice signed a unique carved
whale designed Gibson from the artist Mike Oncley. The band Neon Trees signed this Gibson Guitar donated by
Guitar Center at a very special Music Saves Lives Las Vegas benefit. Each band supports Music Saves Lives to raise funds for life
saving causes that help increase the nation’s safe Blood Supply and Marrow
Registry. Kevin Lyman, founder of the Vans
Warped Tour, Taste of Chaos, Country Throwdown and Mayhem Festival, started the
foundation ‘Unite the United’, where proceeds from
eBay auctions benefit selected nonprofits. Music Saves Lives has been selected for this unique eBay
fundraising.
The summer of 2010 is the fifth summer Music Saves
Lives has been supported by the Vans Warped Tour to educate and encourage blood
donation. This program has
generated over 100,000 blood donations this summer and over 1 million in the
past 5 years and it is the largest youth blood donation program in US history. These caring bands have all been active
in giving back every chance they have and this Unite the United special Holiday
eBay Auction will raise the needed funds to carry on the vital work that Music
Saves Lives does every day.
