Today, the mental health nonprofit, To Write Love on Her Arms is announcing a charity-based collaboration with Insomniac, the team behind North America’s largest dance music festival, Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC), and the online fundraising platform Surreal. Participants will be able to donate to win packages that include VIP passes and accommodations to EDC Orlando, as well as unparalleled artist experiences. The funds raised during the EDC Orlando Charity Initiative will benefit To Write Love on Her Arms, a movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury, and suicide.
“For the last 12 years, our travels and relationships have spanned from crowded venues to sprawling festival fields, and bridging genres from punk rock to EDM,” says TWLOHA’s Chad Moses. “We believe people need other people, and should have the opportunity to tell and share their stories with others. Insomniac has played such an integral role in our story as they have made space in their festivals for us to engage with one of the most dynamic music scenes in the world. Their desire to positively affect everyone in their orbit falls directly in line with our mission and vision.”
