Warped

From Brande Jackson:

The ONE concert outreach team has been busy the past few weeks – we just finished the Warped Tour, and are still on the road with the Dave Matthews Band.

Warped Tour proved to be as much fun as always – we talked to thousands of young people across the country about the work of ONE and what they could do to get involved and make a difference. As always, we had amazing volunteers join us throughout the course of the tour as well. The diversity of our volunteers always impresses us – we get to meet people doing amazing things for ONE in their own community, and Warped always provides us with a unique chance to get to work with young volunteers that are making poverty history in their high schools and colleges. A big thanks to all of you that joined us this summer and braved the heat and loud punk rock – we hope to see you all again next year!

Our Dave dates have proved to be a great success as well – we are very excited to have Product (RED) joining us for this tour. We kicked off this exciting collaboration in Milwaukee, where we were joined by new and veteran volunteers (a special thanks to Alyssa, our Chicago based rockstar volunteer who once got over 500 people signed up at a single show!) alike that helped us get thousands of DMB fans educated and involved.
