ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK MAYHEM FESTIVAL Unveils ‘Text To Donate’ Program – - Text MAYHEM to 41518 to Make a $5.00 Donation!

The ‘Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America’ Offer Access to the Rockstar ‘METAL OF HONOR’ Tent with Military ID

Metal Of Honor PSA Featuring David Draiman of Disturbed Revealed

Festival Kick-Off this Saturday, July 9^th in San Bernardino, CA!

 

The ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK MAYHEM FESTIVAL is pleased to unveil the official Text To Donate campaign, a program inviting people across the nation to assist in raising donations for our hard-working United States military.  The Text To Donate program is part of this year’s awareness and fundraising effort, ‘METAL OF HONOR’.  All one simply has to do is text MAYHEM to 41518 to make a $5.00 donation!  Your donation will help in aiding to the needs and challenges of our active duty military, veterans and their families.

 

Fans can view a brand new ‘METAL OF HONOR’ PSA featuring David Draiman of Disturbed at this link. The PSA highlights the efforts of Hope For The Warriors® and The Pathway Home, and explains how you can help via the ‘METAL OF HONOR’ program, including the Text To Donate info above, and that $.25 of each ticket sold will support the awareness program.

 

The ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK MAYHEM FESTIVAL has joined forces with the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA, www.IAVA.org). IAVA will distribute 30 tickets for each show to veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan through The Rucksack (http://rucksack.iava.org/). All festival guests can stop by IAVA’s tent for a chance to win a special meet and greet experiences with the bands backstage. Military personnel and veterans with ID will also be able to pick up ‘METAL OF HONOR’ wristbands from the IAVA tent. These wristbands will give active-duty military and veterans access to the Rockstar ‘METAL OF HONOR’ tent where they can hang out, have drinks and score free stuff from festival sponsors.

IAVA is the country’s first and largest nonprofit, nonpartisan organization for veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and has more than 200,000 member veterans and civilian supporters nationwide.  Its mission is to improve the lives of this country¹s newest generation of veterans and their families.

 

The ‘METAL OF HONOR’ awareness campaign will include wrapping one of the tour’s semi trucks with logos of the charities, providing nationwide exposure on major highways throughout North America for over six weeks, and the Text To Donate program. Additional social media outreach efforts will be utilized to bring the message to rock music lovers worldwide.  ‘METAL OF HONOR’ will also have an onsite presence at each festival date highlighting Hope For The Warriors® and The Pathway Home along with other ways the patron can get involved in their own communities.

 

This year, the festival raised over $22,000 from the VIP Experience Charity Ebay auction!  The auction was created to raise additional funds for Hope For The Warriors® and The Pathway Home. During the auction, fans were able to bid on eBay for a once-in-a-lifetime chance to receive two VIP passes to the festival, and the top bidder and a guest would be able to watch their favorite festival artist onstage, amongst other great prizes.  The auction period has now ended.

“We’re excited to be doing more festivals like this in the states,” states vocalist Freddy Cricien. “I think these kinds of shows are great for the genre/scene. We just came back from Europe from doing a few big festivals and we’ll be back there in July for more, before the states tour. Europe has been on to something for years, with regard to having hardcore bands on this kind of platform. Hopefully this trend continues and grows in the states. I am one of the promoters of the BnB bowl in NYC. We’ve tried to set an example for years now with that event. Hopefully, we can do it “open air” proper style some day! See you all in the Midwest, either at a fest or club show. Come through!”

Again people, if you are heading to these festivals take care of yourself. Drink water, don’t over do it on the drugs or alcohol, and get out of the sun if you are getting too hot. This is the 2nd person that has died this year at Bonaroo this year which is sad.

Every year when I attend the festivals I see a lot of people carried off, and most of them are due to heat related causes instead of them getting hurt while mosh pitting or things like that. Last year at Mayhem I even witnessed a woman pass out in front of me. So take care of yourselves, because your friends, your family, and the bands really don’t want to see anyone get hurt or die from the heat.

 

Just a note: when I first read this, I thought it said that he died of hypothermia, and aparently some other people missed that too. But hyperthermia is when your body temp is too high (the opposite of hypothermia).
