Why don’t you slide to Red Rocks this August? As part of a campaign to raise money for Texas flood relief efforts, The Goo Goo Dolls are giving away a trip to see them at the famed Colorado venue later this summer.
Launched in partnership with fundraising platform Fandiem, the giveaway includes airfare and hotel accommodations for two, VIP tickets to the Aug. 24 performance at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, a backstage meet and greet with the band and a guitar played during a Goo Goo Dolls show that’s been signed by the band.
All contributions to the campaign go directly to the San Antonio Food Bank’s ongoing disaster
response and recovery operations across the Texas communities affected by the devastating floods in the state earlier this month. Live now through Aug. 13, the sweepstakes allows fans to enter by making donations between $15 and $500. Entrants must be 18 years or older to participate.
“Texas holds a special place in our hearts,” Goo Goo Dolls frontman John Rzeznik said in a statement. “After seeing the devastation from the recent floods, we wanted to find a meaningful way to help. Partnering with Fandiem and the San Antonio Food Bank lets us rally our fans to make a real impact. Please be generous. Let’s show love for our neighbors.”
“Support from partners like the Goo Goo Dolls is critical in moments like this,” Fandiem co-founder Jared Heiman said in a statement. “Together, we can provide relief and hope to Texans rebuilding after the floods.”
With this fundraiser, The Goo Goo Dolls join artists like country legend George Strait and Mexican star Alejandro Fernández who’ve launched benefit shows and campaigns to raise money to help victims of the flood, which killed 134, with authorities continuing to search for the missing.
