KENNETT, Mo. - Tuesday, Feb. 11 was 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 was Tuesday, and along with it came 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 was 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 was 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 the Delta Children’s Home offers services to kids when they might need them most, said DCH 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 charity, Perez said.

Fans still 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:
