IDAHO FALLS — Local country music fans, listen up! It’s time for this year’s Star Guitar Charity Auction presented by 105.5/105.9 The Hawk.
The Sixth Annual Star Guitar Charity Auction will take place over five days from Oct. 15 to Oct. 19 live on the air. Guitars signed by famous country artists will be auctioned off to the highest bidder.
“We hope we can raise a whole bunch of money,” said Don Jarrett, Program Director for The Hawk. “They are amazing charities.”
This year funds raised from the auctions will be donated to PTSD Veteran Athletes in Pocatello and Camp Magical Moments in Swan Valley.
Jarrett says the auction raised nearly $14,000 last year and the station hopes to do the same this year.
“People bid on the guitars for the charities just as much as it is for the names signed on the guitars,” Jarrett says.
This year’s auction features 10 guitars signed by artists ranging from Tim McGraw and Faith Hill to Old Dominion and a one-of-a-kind guitar signed by Shania Twain.
Guitars for the Star Guitar Charity auction were donated by No limit Guitar Company.
Those wishing to participate in the auction can tune in to 105.5 and 105.9 FM on Oct. 15 at 8 a.m. The Hawk will also be taking cash donations at 400 West Sunnyside Road in Idaho Falls.
