Entering this Sweepstakes raises money for rebuilding homes in Altadena, California. This is a one-of-a-kind Fender Custom Shop Limited-Edition Altadena Stratocaster made using wood from an iconic Deodar Cedar tree that came down in Altadena, California during the tragic Eaton fire in January 2025. A Fender Custom Shop guitar is always amazing, and this one also holds significance and history. Funds raised through this Sweepstakes will support San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity's work building of homes for families whose homes were lost in the fire.
Repurposing this Altadena wood into a custom musical instrument is a tangible poem of rebirth and a story of recovery. This guitar reminds the community that even in the midst of grief there is still music, and the song of resilience will not be silenced. Every dollar raised through this sweepstakes helps get more families home more quickly by advancing the fire-recovery work of SGV Habitat for Humanity.
SGV Habitat builds homes and hope. A year after the devastating Eaton fire, which destroyed 6,000 homes in Altadena CA in 2025, thousands of families currently face a financial barrier to rebuilding. SGV Habitat is helping those families get back home -- building six days a week for families, many of whom had no insurance. Your support helps families. On top of that, this is, by any measure, an extraordinary custom guitar to play and keep for generations.
San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities, and hope. We build strength and self-reliance through shelter. We believe in a world where everyone has a decent place to live. For those who might not see a way to home ownership, SGV Habitat can help.
The need for affordable housing is immense, and the lasting impact it can have on families is undeniable. Having affordable housing in neighborhoods brings a positive impact on the surrounding communities. SGV Habitat works with city governments, housing organizations, and community advocates to create communities in which families can thrive.
Thanks to generous supporters families throughout the San Gabriel Valley and beyond are witnessing first-hand what it is to have safe and stable housing. Partnering with SGV Habitat, supporters have helped over 300 families find brighter futures through permanent homeownership. Our work to make homeownership possible for all, however, has only just begun.
The devastating Eaton fire of January 2025 which struck our neighbors in the community of Altadena, destroyed 6,000 single-family homes. This largely working-class community, home to artists, scientists, public servants, and a notable number of multi-generational families living near one another, is a study in resilience, a shining example of neighbors pulling together, and a reminder that hope is alive. Four words ring out this past year from Altadena and echo throughout the San Gabriel Valley: "How Can I Help?"
SGV Habitat plans to build one hundred homes per year in Altadena for as long as it takes to help families get back home. Your support makes it happen. Make a donation today with a chance to win this extraordinary guitar, and come volunteer with us. We are out there six days a week. And just like Pete Seeger imagined it, we hammer out love between our brothers and our sisters all over the land. Join us!
