Boutique Builders for Harvey 
 
We are a community of musicians and music lovers who also happen to work in the guitar industry. 
 
We are builders, fixers, players, reviewers, podcasters, and writers. 
 
We have different ideas. We come from different places. We have different lives and different perspectives. 
 
But we have one thing in common: we are people who care about people. 
 
The images of the storm raging in Southeast Texas and the rest of the gulf area are devastating. Whole neighborhoods and towns are underwater. Looking at pictures of flooded schools and highways, watching footage of cars and buildings swept away, it doesn’t take long to see that there are people hurting there, people who need help, people just like us. Already over 35 people have lost their lives. Countless more have been stranded: their homes destroyed, their belongings sunken or swept away, their lives uprooted in an instant. We’ve seen the images and we’ve heard the stories. We’ve seen the destruction and devastation and we realized one thing: we have to do something. 
 
So here we are, a community of individuals from different lives coming together for a common cause: to help our fellow man. But we can’t do it alone. We need your help. That’s why we’ve set up the Boutique Builders for Harvey fundraiser and raffle. We’ve collected donations from amp and pedal builders, from podcasters and players, from business owners and friends. We’re using our resources and our talents to give something back. 
 
Every cent of every ticket purchased will be given to Samaritan’s Purse and earmarked for Hurricane Harvey relief. We’re not keeping any of it. All the money collected will go to support rescue and relief efforts in the affected areas. Already, there are units cutting trees, fixing buildings, and digging people and their homes out of the mud. We want to help, and we want to give you the opportunity to partner with us.  
 
Each ticket purchased between now and September 30 gives you a chance to win some amazing items, each fully donated by their creators, while supporting the relief efforts in Southeastern Texas.
