Sam Ash Music donated a $25,000 Gibson Jeff Beck Les Paul to the silent auction benefiting Musicares at the 2010 Person of the Year concert. The event honored Neil Young and was held on Friday January 29, 2010 in Los Angeles.

Over $4 million dollars was raised at the event. Each year, Musicares raises funds to provide financial, medical and personal assistance to artists in need.

More than 20 artists performed including Elton John, James Taylor, Dave Matthews, Crosby Stills and Nash, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Sheryl Crow at this Grammy weekend event hosted by Jack Black.

"We are delighted to support this incredible organization that has done so much to provide assistance to professional musicians who find themselves in dire circumstances," says Richard Ash, CEO of Sam Ash Music.

Sam Ash Music donated an autographed Jeff Beck 1954 Oxblood Les Paul, one of only 50 ever produced.
