An auction has been launched to help raise money for Maureen Waters, mother of New Found Glory vocalist Jordan Pundik. As reported earlier, Waters was rushed to Broward General Medical Center CVICU due to a sudden, unidentified infection which has severely weakened her heart. She is in critical, yet stable condition with only 10% of her heart working on it’s own, and may need a transplant. Because Maureen lacks insurance, her family and friends are trying to help fund the operations she needs.

The auction includes Signature instruments from Fall Out Boy, a signed guitar from The Cab, art prints from The Academy Is… and more. Check out all the stuff here.
