In the wake of the devastating wildfires that have ravaged Southern California, the Canadian-born, L.A.-based Spiritbox have launched a charity raffle to support recovery efforts. All proceeds will go to Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles and Altadena Girls.
The cause is particularly personal to the band since Spiritbox bassist Josh Gilbert tragically lost his home to the fire.
“Southern California has faced devastating wildfires over the past week and a half, and I want to not only donate, but raise as much as possible to help,” Spiritbox guitarist Michael Stringer said in a statement. “Watching the destruction and its impact has been heartbreaking, and it’s hit home hard for us. Josh, in particular, lost everything in the Eaton Fire, and we’re doing everything we can to make a difference.”
The raffle’s grand prize includes an Aristides 070R guitar, a Jackson Pro Plus Series 7-string guitar, a Fender Tonemaster Pro, and a 50-watt EVH 5150 head — gear that has all been put to the test by Stringer on tour and in the studio. Each $25 donation gets you a chance to win the entire package.
“We’ve used all of this gear in our live shows and recording sessions, and it feels good to pass it along while helping these incredible organizations,” the guitarist added.
