These prizes make great gifts for the holidays and is a way to give back on Giving Tuesday on Dec. 3.


By participating in the Benevolent Bazaar, you can ensure that Can’d Aid can continue to be the ripple effect of good for years to come. The gifts include Fishin’ With a Musician, a chance to puck string and fish out on the open water with your favorite artist, like members from headlining acts like Steep Canyon Rangers, Kitchen Dwellers, Tyler Childers’ Food Stamps and The Infamous Stringdusters. You can also bid on tickets to amazing music festivals like WinterWonderGrass in Steamboat, CO, or trips to see some of the world’s most iconic destinations including Greece and Ireland. There are also a few big ticket items like guitars signed by Tyler Childers and the Food Stamps and Paul Simmons (video of him signing included)! See the full list of participating musicians HERE.


Can’d Aid has donated more than 3,800 instruments to public school music programs across the country with the help of award-winning touring artists. Known as Can’d Aid TUNES ambassadors, these nationally touring musicians dedicate their time to supporting kids at in-person instrument donations by providing hands-on workshops, live-musical performances and special events like Fishin’ With a Musician.

Fishin’ with a Musician helps the nonprofit provide instruments and music lessons for students in underfunded schools nationwide. Winning bidders will have an entire calendar year to coordinate a date that works for them, their musician and a professional guide. Several outfitters across the country support Fishin’ With a Musician by waiving their fees and hosting events on private water.


Please help us spread the word and Can’d Aid’s Benevolent Bazaar and let us know if you would like to interview the team to learn more about the great work they have been doing ahead of Giving Tuesday on Dec. 3 and the holiday season. Don’t just give a gift this year, give back with Can’d Aid.
