Here's your chance to win a Huber Jim Mills model banjo and help a long-time member of the bluegrass community who has suffered a great loss.

Sam Calveard worked for Huber Banjos from August 2005 to April 2007, and has also worked at Gruhn Guitars and Gibson. Sam's wife, Beth, passed away March 22nd after a lengthy bout with cancer, leaving Sam with the sole responsibility of raising their two sons, Latham and Will.

Steve Huber has generously established a college trust fund account for Latham and Will, and has donated a Jim Mills model banjo to be raffled off here on the Banjo Hangout. This beautiful banjo lists for $4,950, so dig deep and know it's for a good cause!

To participate in the raffle, purchase as many tickets as you'd like, using the form above. All proceeds will benefit the Sam Calveard College Trust Fund. The winner will be announced June 30, 2008.

Most of us can only imagine the physical, emotional, and psychological effects of such a tragedy. This trust is just a small way of showing our love and concern. Won't you join us in aiding a fellow bluegrass friend and his family? Your help is greatly appreciated.
