IF YOU ARE A BAND OR MUSICIAN AND WANT TO HELP – it’s pretty easy.
If you have an active fan base (ie Twitter, Facebook, Instagram), you can donate your used guitar strings to us! ** We make bracelets, earrings, necklaces with the used strings – then sell the items off to YOUR fans, and donate the proceeds to World Vision or other charity in need (local Food Banks, Disaster Relief, Christmas Dinner for homeless etc).
From 2012 – present we’ve had the privilege of working with almost ALL of Canada’s most loved and well-know Rock bands, Country artists, and Adult Alternative artists. We’ve also been blessed to work with some amazing Rock bands from the US.
To date, we’ve raised over $18,118 with items created from Sam Roberts Band, Tom Cochrane, The Trews, The Glorious Sons, Bif Naked, Dallas Smith, Aaron Pritchett, Papa Roach, Alex Skolnick, Collective Soul, Shinedown, Five Finger Death Punch, Slash, Nikki Sixx, used donated guitar and bass strings. (not to mention the various artists who have done Comfort Doll Photos for us!)
Often our success with guitar/bass strings is greatly helped by YOU the artist – – by reposting our FaceBook, Twitter or Instagram post, YOU have the ability to reach thousands of your fans, while we can reach only a few. For example: Jerry Horton (Papa Roach) reposted our post just once, and our phone blew up! We had over 200 people ordering bracelets – in one day! And we raised a whopping $1245.00. We really do appreciate (and need) a little help from our friends.
The neat thing about the guitar /bass strings is that
1.) you’re going to toss them out anyways, and
2.) you can mail them to us and
3.) it creates a piece of wearable art/memorabilia from you, that fans love to own.

**we reserve the right to decline strings from bands who glorify drugs/drink, are racist/misogynist/homophobic, or treat their fans badly. We also prefer bands who actively want to give back (vs mgmt seeking positive publicity). Thank you for your understanding.
