KISS - Signed Guitar Up For Auction To Aid In Child's Battle Against Cancer

KISS have posted a link to a charity effort here raising money for a child’s battle against cancer. A guitar autographed by the four current members of KISS is up for auction.

“Bid on this Paul Stanley guitar, fully signed by every current member of the band! All proceeds will go to Emma 100%. Bidding will only be excepted on this page, bids on multiple pages are hard to track and will not be counted. This auction will end this coming Wednesday, March 18th, at 8pm. The highest bid will be the winner. Bids from anywhere are excepted, no restrictions. Once a payment to Emma’s mom has been confirmed, KISS management will send the guitar direct to the winner. Lets keep this page positive and basic without a ton of threads to read, the less there is to sort through, the easier it will be to keep track of the highest bid. Have fun, lets raise some good money for our little buddy, and good luck!

Remember, there are NO TIES, there can be only one winner, so if you bid the same as another it wont count. Time posted would be used in that case to chose who posted first. Even one dollar more than another is enough to move ahead. make sure you know what the highest bid is before you bid and decide from there what you need to do. Rock and Roll over my friends!”

In other news, Arabella Carter – the little girl from Prince Albert, Saskatchewan who was born without external ears – has had reconstructive surgery, reports CBC.ca. The youngster and her family were in Los Angeles for the procedure and were treated to a morale boosting post-op visit by music celebrity Paul Stanley, who supports a charity for children with microtia.

Bilateral microtia is the technical name for the condition of being born without external ears.

Arabella’s surgery took place March 6th, according to a posting on the Facebook page Ears For Arabella. “Arabella is out of surgery,” the post said, adding the four-year-old was recovering “safely in our arms.”

The next day, KISS band member Paul Stanley was at the child’s bedside providing well wishes for Arabella. Stanley was also born with microtia and waited over 30 years for his ear to be constructed. He is now closely associated with non-profit group Mending Kids, which raises funds to help children around the world access reconstructive surgery. The musician said the cause is very close to him and in interviews he has spoken about the teasing he endured as a youngster who was different.
