KENNETT, Mo. - Today is about more than February's most anticipated celebration of love.
Although Valentine's Day is just around the corner, Feb. 11 is about love, as well.
Sheryl Crow's birthday is today, and along with it comes the last day to participate in one of her most beloved charity's fund raisers, the Delta Children's Home 24th annual Sheryl Crow Birthday Drive.
The multi-Grammy-winning musician has long been a faithful supporter of the children's home, and midnight on Feb. 11 is the last day to donate to the charity and the final day to enter to win a fine Fender electric guitar.
For 2025, the grand prize winner walks away with a brand new, US-made Fender American Ultra Telecaster in Ultraburst, with a hardshell Fender case.
Every $5.00 donation will be a chance to win the guitar and other prizes, including signed handwritten lyrics, signed tour merchandise, or a personal video from Kennett's hometown rockstar.
The Sheryl Crow Birthday Drive began in 2001 and offers services to kids when they might need them most, said Delta Children's Home Board of Directors Pres. Michele Perez.
"When children have nowhere else to go, the Children's Home provides a roof over their heads," Perez said. "And a secure family environment for them to stay during their times of crisis."
During the past 24 years, Crow’s fans from around the world donated more than $350,000 to the Delta Children’s Home, Perez said.
Fans can make tax-deductible donations by credit card or PayPal using PayPal balance, credit card, or direct from a bank balance at deltachildrenshome.com/donate/, or by mailing a check or cash to:
Delta Children’s Home – Birthday Drive
PO Box 573

The Birthday Drive is promoted mostly on Crow’s social media sites, and prizes and winners are announced on her Facebook and Instagram accounts:
