Lady Gaga, Foo Fighters, 100 More Artists Sign Guitar for Planned Parenthood Raffle
Lady Gaga, Foo Fighters, Tom Petty, Katy Perry, Queens of the Stone Age and Michael Stipe are among the 102 artists and producers that autographed an acoustic guitar that’s being raffled to raise funds for Planned Parenthood.
The organizers of 7 Inches for Planned Parenthood, a vinyl-and-download series, are spearheading the sweepstakes, with people who donate $10 or more automatically entered into the raffle for the unique instrument.
The Gibson CJ-165 comes courtesy of Reuben Cox, the owner of Old Style Guitar Shop in Los Angeles, who in the past five months has recruited over 100 artists to sign the guitar. Cox started collecting the autographs after Election Day, the result of which immediately threatened the future of Planned Parenthood.
Sam Smith, Ryan Adams, John Legend, the Animals’ Eric Burdon, Jackson Browne, Henry Rollins, My Morning Jacket’s Jim James, Portlandia’s Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen, Mark Ronson, MC5’s Wayne Kramer and Arctic Monkeys’ Alex Turner are also among the diverse group of musicians to autograph the guitar.
Check out the contest page for more information. The sweepstakes runs until May 11th.
