Charlie Overbey, LA-based musician, hatmaker and owner of Lone Hawk Hats, along with his partner Vanessa Dingwell have teamed up with United Natives and Dr. Michelle Tom to raise money to aid in the Navajo Nation COVID-19 crisis. A variety of artists "have autographed and donated their own custom made one-of-a-kind Lone Hawk Hats to be auctioned off to support the United Natives efforts." (Quote via press release.)
“When we learned that the Navajo Nation now has more documented COVID-19 cases per capita than any of the United States and they are not yet receiving U.S. government funding, we knew we had to do something to help," said Overbey.
Sheryl Crow, Chris Robinson, Marcus King, Barry Gibb, Cree Summer, Raoul Max Trujillo, LP, Nils Lofgren and many more are participating in the fundraiser, which begins today. The hats will be auctioned off via the Lone Hawk Hats Instagram page.
According to a press release, "in addition to the Lone Hawk Hat charity auction, Overbey will raffle off 'This Ol’ Hat,' a vintage hat signed by the Lone Hawk Hat family members supporting the cause."
