Daisy Rock Guitars and Schecter Guitar Research have joined ChicBlvd and Hint Mint to help in the fight against AIDS!

As part of ChicBlvd's "Carry A Tin Campaign," Daisy Rock and Schecter donated two brand new guitars to help raise money for AIDS awareness and prevention. The guitars, a Daisy Rock Red Hot Red Heartbreaker Guitar and a Schecter Gryphon Limited Edition Flametop Guitar, were auctioned off through eBay charity auctions last week. 100% of the proceeds from the auction benefited the YouthAIDS (www.youthaids.org) and Compassion International (www.compassioninternational.org) charities.

“Being a musician who lived in West Hollywood in the ‘80s, I was always shocked to read that we lost neighbors & friends. It seemed like one day they were there and the next day they weren’t. Make sure you tell the ones you love that you love them every day.”
- Tish Ciravolo, President & Founder of Daisy Rock Guitars

“Even though very few of us have been directly affected by the AIDS epidemic, we feel like the fight against AIDS is very important and we all want to help. Schecter would like to join Daisy Rock and also donate a guitar to help raise money for AIDS research and the Carry A Tin Campaign. No one should be forgotten.”
- Schecter Guitar Research

To date, ChicBlvd's "Carry A Tin Campaign" has raised over $10,000 since launching in January 2007.
