Warped Tour foundation raises big money for charities

This year Unite the United, the foundation created by the producers of the Warped Tour, coordinated efforts helping to raise in excess of $350,000 for charities nationwide. This year set records across the board, with the Warped Eco Initiative collecting well over 40,000 lbs. of recyclables, Music Saves Lives collecting more that 45,000 units of blood via Warped sponsored blood drives, FM World Charities screening 6,500 concert goers for skin cancer, and more than four tons of food and clothing being donated directly to local homeless shelters via the Punk Junk Donation drives held at the gates. The event also included volunteer clean-up days. Visit www.unitetheunited.org and www.warpedtour.com/warpedtour/takeaction.asp.
