One of the best things about the Warped Tour community has always been the people. The friendships, the memories, the music, and the way everyone comes together when it matters most. It's more than a festival or a collection of bands and fans. It's a family, and family takes care of family.
So before we make our normal event announcement we wanted to let everyone know we're bringing something a little extra special to the RSVLTS Last Life Arcade at Van's Warped Tour Orlando, November 14 & 15.
We're hosting a Charity Claw Machine, with 100% of the profits going to Adrenal Cure Collective in honor and memory of our friend Chad Gilbert of New Found Glory.
Chad meant so much to so many people. Through his music, his friendships, and the countless memories he's helped create, his impact reaches far beyond the stage. While we wish the circumstances were different, we wanted to find a way to celebrate his legacy, give back, and continue supporting a cause that is incredibly important to his story.
And because we couldn't just bring any old claw machine, we've teamed up with some incredible friends to fill this thing with seriously awesome prizes. We're talking guitar picks, autographed memorabilia, exclusive merch, collectibles, and plenty of surprises that are sure to make you want another shot!
Here's how it works:
$20 per play
EVERY PLAY IS A WIN!
100% of profits go to Adrenal Cure Collective (you can donate here if you're not attending)
No empty-handed walks of shame here! Every play gets you something awesome, but the real win is knowing you're helping make a difference and supporting the important work of Adrenal Cure Collective.
We also want to give a huge, heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who stepped up and donated prizes. The generosity from this community has been incredible, and we're so grateful to everyone helping us turn this into something bigger than a claw machine.
A special shoutout to:
New Found Glory, Ian Grushka, Fearless Records, Hopeless Records, Yellowcard, Bayside, Four Year Strong, Hot Mulligan, Bowling for Soup, The Starting Line, The Ataris, Alice Cooper, Greek Fire, Sugar Shack Sessions, Hoobastank, Free Throw, Ben Quad, Third Eye Blind, Stand Atlantic, Good Terms, The Used, The Home Team, Broadside, Makari, The Early November, Sace6, Atmosphere, Lakeview, tiLLie, Teen Mortgage, Oxymorrons, and we know there will be more.
Whether you're coming to see your favorite band, catch up with old friends, discover some new music, or spend a little time in the Last Life Arcade, we hope you'll stop by and take a shot at the Charity Claw Machine.
Every token makes a difference. Every play helps. And every contribution is another reminder of just how special this community can be.
Chad's music brought people together, and that connection doesn't end here. Let's come together, celebrate his legacy, and make a little good happen along the way.
We'll see you November 14 & 15.
PLAY FOR A PURPOSE. WIN FOR A CAUSE.
