Guitarist Mark Morton of Richmond, Virginia metallers LAMB OF GOD will be auctioning one of his stage guitars used at the upcoming D-Tox Fest in Montebello, Quebec, Canada for charity. All proceeds from the auction will go to Victory Junction, a camp for chronically ill children in Randleman, North Carolina. The guitar, a Mark Morton signature model Jackson Dominion from Mark's personal collection, will be autographed and will come with photographs from the performance and a personal letter of appreciation from Mark. More details on the start date of the auction will be announced soon.

"I can't put into words how excited I am to be working with Victory Junction," states Morton. "The work they do is astounding. To have the opportunity to contribute to such an incredible cause is nothing short of an honor. I had the chance to spend some time at the camp recently, and to see what they're doing warmed my heart and soul. I hope anybody reading this will take a few minutes to check out this wonderful organization. Together, the camp, my wife and I are putting together some BIG ideas for the future and we are simply thrilled to be a part of it!"
