The Rock & Roll Retreat will benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee and former member of The Eagles, legendary guitarist Don Felder, is inviting fans to take part in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to win an unforgettable trip to Music City, while raising critical funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, a cause close to his heart.
Running through September 6th, the Rock & Roll Retreat Sweepstakes, taking place on October 23-26, will raise money to support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. St. Jude is leading the way the world understands, treats, and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Its purpose is clear: Finding cures. Saving children. All donations made during the sweepstakes period (less standard PayPal fees) will go directly to St. Jude, where families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food.
Felder’s commitment to St. Jude stems from his wn childhood health struggles. “As a young child, I spent two and a half months in the polio ward where music on the radio was my lifeline,” says Felder. “Music gave me hope, freedom, and something to enjoy in such a scary place for someone just beginning their life. That’s where my love for music began—in a children’s hospital. I was fortunate and only have minimal lasting effects. But so many children aren’t as lucky. That’s why giving back to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital means so much to me. I see a little of myself in those kids—the fear, the courage, the fight. Since the hospital first opened its doors, St. Jude has helped raise the childhood cancer survival rate from just 20% to over 80%.”
He continues, “What better way to come full circle than tying in an unforgettable music experience like the Rock and Roll Retreat Sweepstakes—and knowing it’s all helping children who need it most. And the prize package truly is once-in-a-lifetime: round-trip airfare to Nashville, three nights in The Westin Nashville’s Broadway Suite, a personal tour of the Gibson Vault, a 1:1 guitar lesson with myself, a white Epiphone Double Neck SG, tickets to the Musicians Hall of Fame, and attend a showcase at Gibson as my guest! Music, meaning, and making a difference—what could be better?”
One lucky winner will receive round-trip domestic airfare to Nashville with a three-night stay in the luxurious “Broadway Suite” at The Westin Nashville Hotel, an Epiphone G-1275 Custom SG double neck solidbody electric guitar, a private one-on-one guitar lesson with Felder, a personal tour of the Gibson Garage with access to the exclusive Gibson Vault, a signed Don Felder bass drum head, tickets to the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum, and access to the Gibson showcase event with Felder.
All fans who enter before August 15th will be eligible to win an Epiphone Les Paul Standard 50’s Figured Top in Washed Cherry Sunburst.
Sponsors include Felder, Gibson Guitar/Gibson Gives, The Westin Nashville, and the Musicians Hall of Fame.
