Over the past year John Mayer has revealed a new side to his public persona.

Taking a break from the spotlight, recently Mayer has come to the aid of fellow musicians. This past weekend he assisted Frank Ocean on guitar for the SNL season premiere. Next month he’ll join an all-star line up for the “Love For Levon” tribute concert in New Jersey.

Now he wants your help.

You, a friend and John Mayer have the opportunity to work side-by-side on a project honoring U.S. military veterans. A $2 raffle ticket is your way in and there are three coveted spots. In addition to volunteering alongside John you and a friend will have the opportunity to eat lunch with the singer-songwriter.

Proceeds from the raffle benefit the NCIRE, which is a non-profit charity group dedicated to helping veteran research. John Mayer fans can enter to win here.

For those who need instant John Mayer gratification, his new 2013 “Born and Raised” wall calendar is available for purchase. It features 16 months of photos taken during his Born and Raised photo shoot. Proceeds will also benefit NCIRE.

Enter raffle & be 1 of 3 winners to spend a day volunteering for veterans with JM! Proceeds to benefit @ncireveterans bit.ly/Nf5wum
