Green Day is about to grant a wish — or hundreds of wishes — with their latest cooperation with Wheels For Wishes.
The charitable organization that raises funds for children through the donation of used vehicles has teamed up with Green Day on their sold-out Saviors stadium tour, announcing a sweepstakes for the chance to win the 1968 Mercury Monterey convertible featured in the veteran band’s “Holiday” and “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” videos.
“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.”
Wheels For Wishes is working with social impact company Propeller on the sweepstakes, which is the band’s second collaboration with Wheels For Wishes after giving their renovated Bookmobile tour bus in 2017. According to a release, as of July 2024, Wheels For Wishes had provided more than $114 million to Make-A-Wish children, resulting in 13,672 wishes granted. The Propeller website states that the car has unique upholstery, shift knobs, and a detailed interior, as well as the distinctive heart-grenade hood ornament and custom BRKN DRM vanity plates.
