Fire Relief Concert Raffle

The Hermits Peak and Calf Canyon Fire is the largest standalone fire in New Mexico history. Hundreds of homes were destroyed and thousands of people are still struggling with basic necessities. Hillary Smith reached out to us to help with a fundraiser for people struggling with the impact of the fire, and in no time many of Albuquerque's best bands had signed on to lend a hand. (Learn more about the benefit concert here.)

Now, you can further support our friends and neighbors to the north by purchasing a raffle ticket. Funds will be distributed to the community through the Las Vegas Community Foundation's Hermit's Peak Wildfire Relief Fund.

Raffle tickets cost $10 for one, $20 for three. You need not be present at the benefit concert to win.  Must be able to pick up the items in Albuquerque.

Our grand prize is a brand new PRS SE Silver Sky Moon White electric guitar (gig bag included). Retail price is $849.

The guitar was donated by The Village Guitarist in Cedar Crest, New Mexico.

The Village Guitarist is a 2nd generation music store owned by The Rivera Family, who have deep roots in the Mora Valley for well over 300 years. They have family members and friends affected by the fires in several towns along the burn areas and reached out to offer up this guitar.

"This is a picture from my uncle's ranch in Rainsville, NM. The homesteads in view is where my grandparents lived along with another uncle's home that had been built by family members and handed down from generation to generation. Rainsville was spared along with our family homesteads, but many others obviously were not that lucky.  It's so sad that century old and even centuries old homesteads have been lost for families who take such pride in their land, homes, and history.  We are always willing to help those affected in Las Vegas and surrounding communities all we can!" - Eric, Krista & Aria Rivera

We will also be raffling off several posters (valued at $40) and one fine arts print (valued at $400) from Eyes of New Mexico Fine Art Photography.

Each raffle ticket is an entry for all of the prizes. Need not be present to win. Must be able to pick up the items in Albuquerque.

Be sure to come to our benefit concert on Saturday, December 17 at the Lobo Theater too! Click here for more info.
