Stephanie Oritz is a student, volunteer, and Hooters bartender. She is currently working with the non-profit organization, Cross Cultural Solutions, to take a trip to Thailand to provide art therapy to needy children. Stephanie recently took time to visit John Ostronomy at the New York Gibson Guitars showroom for a photo session and Talking Metal interview (available in Episode 272) to promote a charity iPod raffle. Proceeds will be used to support Stephanie's overseas trip.

Click the "donate" button to take part in Stephanie's charity raffle for a brand new iPod Nano with three different cases! Each "ticket" or "chance" is only $5 US dollars, and you can purchase as many tickets as you would like! For example, a donation of $5 will purchase one ticket while a donation of $20 will purchase four tickets!

The winner will be drawn and announced in the Talking Metal News section on August 1.
