Green Day Giving Away Custom Convertible From “Holiday” Video In Wheels For Wishes Sweepstakes

Green Day is once again collaborating with Wheels For Wishes on a sweepstakes for the chance to win the 1968 Mercury Monterey convertible that was featured in the band’s “Holiday” and “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” music videos. Wheels For Wishes raises money to help children through the donations of used vehicles. “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,” said Randy Heiligman, co-founder/CEO of National Fundraising Management. “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.”

Back in 2017, Green Day also partnered with Wheels For Wishes by donating their restored Bookmobile tour bus to the charitable cause. Interested fans can enter the sweepstakes up until midnight on November 6 via the Propeller site, with $1 getting you 10 entries. The drawing will take place on November 7. (Billboard)
