[Diamondjimi]

It's been a really, really bad 2 years for the struggling musical instrument retailers. I'm not surprised even Peavey turned 'em down..

Hey Assmunch. Why not donate a couple of things from vast "collection" that you have in your imaginary warehouse.

I'm not shipping guitars to Georgia.

And folks, this guys' a teacher, not a proper 501-nonprofit. He's doing this for the kennel. Or the kids. I'm not sure.. but his hearts in the right place I think.

Clay, give 'em your lead guitar from back in the day...like Eddie did for Dimebag....give the children more than your piss for once.....give 'em Lucille.

Sorry Firebrand...I couldn't help myself....

I hope someone will step up to the plate and get you guys something good.

....it was kind of vague, but a response is a response.

I wonder if Dave and the boys could contribute something????

You could try to contact EVH via his web-site contact at evhgear.com or also try Michaels contact at madanthonycafe.com. Mikey might send you some hot sauce...

Your best bet might be through the Fender Music Foundation... they do a lot of promotions for music within schools. Here's their contact page. Foundation - contact us

GAR, it's a community service project...

...which every club in our school has to do. So, we are just tying the "BOB" to the Humane Society, which I really don't have a problem with...but I do get your point 100%. If this REALLY goes well, we may try to organize something independent in the summer...but with this being the first one, I figured it was good to have that tie-in.

As far as 501c-3 is concerned, any contribution to a public school is considered a contribution to a non-profit, since the schools themselves are not for-profit entities (that's such a fun word).

I've written the EVH folks, and am waiting to hear back from Fender. The main thing is just finding something really cool to use for a grand prize...and like I said, if I need to come out of my pocket to help on it, so be it. It matters that much to me and obviously to the younguns.

Quick update...

...nothing yet from EVH or Fender. We'll see...and I'll keep y'all posted.
