If you’re a Green Day lover and a car enthusiast, today is your lucky day. The Saviors artists are teaming up with Wheels For Wishes for the second time to raise money for Make-A-Wish. Previously, the band auctioned off their Bookmobile. Now, Green Day crafted sweepstakes via Propeller to give a lucky winner the iconic 1968 Mercury Monterey Convertible featured in the videos for “Holiday” and “Boulevard Of Broken Dreams.” And yes—the car does come with the heart-grenade hood ornament and BRKN DRM license plates.
To enter the sweepstakes, you can head to Propeller to donate money. Each dollar donated equals 10 entries. You can enter the sweepstakes until November 6, The drawing is scheduled to take place on November 7.
Randy Heiligman, Wheels For Wishes co-founder and CEO of National Fundraising Management, says, “Thanks to Green Day and their immense generosity, Wheels For Wishes will be able to grant hundreds of new wishes through Make-A-Wish chapters across the country. We want to thank Green Day and Propeller for helping us spread awareness of this sweepstakes and for giving up their iconic 1968 Mercury Monterey Convertible in the name of helping the ‘wish’ kids of Make-A-Wish.”
