I have ranted and raved about Warped Tour. I have praised the organizations who participate in this musical event and today Kevin Lyman, Warped Founder extraordinaire just literally stopped my heart.
“Great day in chicago today.. the Warped community pulled together and raised 11,930 dollars for Matthew Leone from Madina Lake today, and provided over 50 items for an auction to be held later. He will need our continued support and if you feel like helping you can donate to Sweet Relief or Music Cares in his name.. thanks everyone for your help today. On to Minneapolis.”
Kevin Lyman makes ever other show coordinator/promoter look like a tool. This guy is amazing and its stunning that Warped collectively can stop and unite.
I love the idea of the auction.
I love musicians helping their own.
As of this moment donations exceding 38k have been raised via Through The Pain. Sweet Relief and other independents are also on board.
In a world of negativity heres news that good can prevail
Pass the hat
