Spectra by Comcast Spectacor, the providers of Venue Management and Ticketing & Fan Engagement to the Tribute Communities Centre, launched an auction today of autographed guitars which will benefit three local charities.

A myriad of artists that performed at the Tribute Communities Centre, formerly the General Motors Centre, supported the initiative in 2016 including Jason Aldean, Thomas Rhett, Kip Moore, Hedley, Walk Off The Earth, Marianas Trench, I Mother Earth, Our Lady Peace, Papa Roach, and many more.

“Giving back is a priorty for us at Spectra. Therefore, we wanted to find a new way to collaborate with local charities involving the support of the artists performing at the venue,” said Spectra’s William Balfour, Director of Marketing and Group Sales. “We are ecstatic with the artists’ responses and we’re hopeful that fans in the community will bid on these collector guitars and that it will be a big win for the charities.”
