Support Team Josie

Team Josie is an American Cancer Society Relay for Life team sponsored by Vintage Guitar and is named in memory of Josie Alise Greenwood, who died in April of 2007, after being diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). She was three years old. Josie was the daughter of VG webmaster Joe Greenwood and grandniece of VG Founder/Publisher Alan Greenwood. Team Josie will participate in its sixth annual benefit walk, May 31 in Grand Forks, North Dakota. Each year, VG works with a guitar builder and several of its advertisers to raise donations in the weeks leading up to the event. To date, the team has raised more than $46,000 via pledges and an annual raffle of guitar-related gear. This year, the raffle will feature a Fender American Vintage '59 Stratocaster in Sonic Blue, with a rosewood fretboard, mint-green pickguard, alder body, and vintage-accurate pickups. It's valued at $2,300! The raffle winner will also receive a Fulltone Tube Tape Echo valued at $1,300, with a DC servo motor, ball-bearing tape cartridge, stereo outputs, Echo Tone knob, and an adjustable Tube boost, as well as a Poerava Wing Tip Strap, hand-made from Italian glove leather and valued at $400. One winner gets it all! Raffle tickets for the June 1 drawing are available for $25. Entry deadline is May 24. Please consider purchasing a ticket - it is for a very good cause and you may acquire a very fine instrument. All proceeds will go to the American Cancer Society.
