Hey everyone!
Jon here from Warped in St. Louis. Can’t tell you how good it feels to be back on the road with Rock For Health and I’m hoping to see you all at the tent this summer!
The craziest thing happened today…a dude was banged up in the pit pretty good today and where did his friends CARRY him to? Not the medics but to Rock For Health! We had the chance to save a life first hand today, and it really means a lot that you all are recognizing us as a resource for everything health-related. We’re here to create awareness around healthcare for the industry and act as a hub for our bands, but it was pretty special to hear the words, “You’re Rock For Health, right? We need you…”
But we need you, too…
Even today too many of our musicians are struggling to have the care they want and need. So many of us are under the misconception that, just because you’re in a successful band, you have every resource at your finger tips. Not the case! Our bands needs us more than ever.
More and more this year you’re coming to the tent with stories of how you saw and heard about RFH through AP and Fuse, and that is so encouraging. We love hearing about what the organization means to you and we want you to keep spreading the word!
One t-shirt sold equals a month of healthcare for a band….think about it…
Check out warpedtour.com see if we’re coming to a city near you and please, by all means, come introduce yourselves at the tent!
Jon
