The campaign has aided over 2,500 musicians and over 50,000 students and parishioners since its launch in 2005. Limited Edition Music Rising Epiphone guitars will be on display for all celebrities to autograph which will later be auctioned off for the charity.

The Gibson Lodge will be open from Friday, Jan. 16 - Wednesday, Jan. 21, 2009. The "By Invitation Only" events will be daytime retreats and a hot spot where celebrity guests and film industry executives can network, rock out, or just kick back and relax. It will be one of the hottest and most exclusive invitations in town! A collection of Gibson guitars will be on hand along with a live back-up band. Gibson will "rock the house" with impromptu jam sessions in the cozy environment on Main Street while AP's photographers will capture the stars in their most candid moments.
