Tim Sipprell, Edina, Minnesota, was the lucky winner in the Team Josie guitar raffle, held prior to Saturday’s American Cancer Society Relay for Life event in Grand Forks, North Dakota. Tim’s was one of 164 entries for the guitar, which was custom-built by Jason at Schroeder Guitars, Redding, California.
Team Josie, founded by the family of VG publisher Alan Greenwood, raised $12,000 this year for the Cancer Society, bringing its three-year total to more than $25,000. This was the first year the group raffled a guitar.
