Vans Warped Tour

Activism and philanthropy

Activism was a major component of the Vans Warped Tour and allowed non-profit organizations to advocate for their causes, such as Invisible Children, To Write Love on Her Arms, Shirts for a Cure, Keep a Breast Foundation, and Hope for the Day. Other causes presented at Warped Tour were Music Saves Lives and Earth Echo. Earth Echo promoted recycling and provided a solar-powered stage. Keep A Breast was another organization on the Vans Warped Tour. Keep A Breast educates women about breast cancer and preventative measures against the disease. The organization worked in conjunction with the Girlz Garage on the Vans Warped Tour. People who donated to the cause were given T-shirts signed by artists on the tour to spread awareness of breast cancer.
