INDIANAPOLIS, IN, May 17, 2013
Painted Axe is pleased to announce its commission with A Taste of the Caribbean Jerk Festival, June 15, 2013 in Birmingham, AL."We'll be producing a custom-painted, branded guitar to be used as a fundraising tool," said Michael Gauf, of Painted Axe. "We are extremely excited about our new relationship with A Taste of the Caribbean Jerk Festival and its efforts to raise awareness about the event and funds for its charity." Proceeds from the guitar will benefit the SLS Exprrres Foundation, which provides new work clothes and school uniforms for families displaced by natural disasters.
Clients utilize their guitars in silent auctions and raffles for charitable and nonprofit organizations, collect detailed attendee information and giveaways to fans and supporters.
"Guitars for fundraisers have become a growing and successful part of the business," said Gauf. "We work closely with clients to provide a design, maximizing the campaign's efforts. That usually means eye-catching and relevant artwork with plenty of space for signatures. Guitars attract far more attention when they are signed. We've even come up with suggestions on coordinating and getting the guitar autographed."
