If you’ve ever dreamed of seeing the Goo Goo Dolls live at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre this might be your chance. And it’s not just about the music this time. The band has teamed up with Fandiem for a heartfelt cause, offering fans an unforgettable experience while helping those affected by the devastating floods in Texas.
Flooding earlier this month left communities across Texas struggling to rebuild, and the San Antonio Food Bank has been working non-stop to provide emergency supplies and support. To help amplify those efforts, the Goo Goo Dolls decided to turn their August 24 show at Red Rocks into more than just another tour stop, it’s now part of a major fundraiser.
Goo Goo Dolls' Red Rocks sweepstakes for Texas flood victims
In a post that quickly caught the attention of fans and followers, the Goo Goo Dolls announced a sweepstakes where one lucky winner will receive a full VIP experience at their Red Rocks show. What makes this different? Every donation made gives you a chance to win and every dollar goes directly toward helping Texans in crisis.
Here’s what’s up for grabs: round-trip flights to Denver, two-night hotel stay, premium seats at the show, a signed guitar used on stage, and even a backstage hangout with John and Robby. Oh and yes, there’s dinner and local transportation covered too. Pretty stacked, right?
But the real impact isn’t just in the prizes. It’s in the purpose. As frontman John Rzeznik put it, Texas has a special place in their hearts, and after witnessing the damage from the floods, the band felt called to do something tangible. Their fans are known to show up and now, that support can go further than ever.
The campaign is live until August 13, and contributions range from $15 to $500. You must be 18 or older to enter, and all proceeds are funneled straight into the San Antonio Food Bank’s disaster response. It’s a smart use of star power giving fans an exciting incentive while supporting urgent, local needs.
The sweepstakes announcement gained quick traction online. Fans praised the band’s sincerity and generosity, while others shared their own stories of being affected by the floods or wanting to support in any way they could. It’s a reminder of how music communities can rally around real-world issues and make a real difference.
Whether you're in it for the chance to catch the Goo Goo Dolls live or just want to lend a helping hand, this campaign is a meaningful way to do both. Sometimes, giving back comes with a backstage pass and this one might just come with a signed guitar, too.
