Don Felder has launched the Rock & Roll Retreat Sweepstakes to raise money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee.
He says, “As a young child, I spent two-and-a-half months in the polio ward where music on the radio was my lifeline. 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%.
“What better way to come full circle than tying in an unforgettable music experience and knowing it’s all helping children who need it most..."
The Rock & Roll Retreat Sweepstakes runs through September 6th. For every $50 you donate to St. Jude, you will receive one entry. For details and to register go to DonFelder.com/Contests.
