Panic! At The Disco donating tour proceeds to Highest Hopes Foundation
Panic! At The Disco’s upcoming Viva Las Vengeance tour is helping to raise money for Everytown, SisterSong and GLSEN via the Brendon Urie-founded Highest Hopes Foundation.
Panic! At The Disco have announced that they'll be donating proceeds from their upcoming Viva Las Vengeance tour to the Brendon Urie-founded Highest Hopes Foundation.
$1 from every ticket sold will go to the charity, which will then be distributing the money raised between Everytown, SisterSong and GLSEN.
A statement from Brendon reads:
“Every single day, all of you show me strength, courage and motivation, and as a result it felt important to create something to show you that I see all of the wonderful things you’re doing out there in the world. With that being said, I want to join in on the fight for those who cannot fight for themselves. Today I present to you the Highest Hopes Foundation, created to support the efforts of non-profit organisations that lead, develop, and advocate support for human rights. This is dedicated to all people and communities who are subject to discrimination or abuse on the basis of gender, race, religion, sexual orientation and gender identity.
“We’ll be donating $1 from every ticket purchased for the Viva Las Vengeance tour to the Highest Hopes Foundation.”
The long-running VLV tour will kick off in Austin, TX on September 8, and finish up next year in Manchester, UK at the AO Arena on March 10.
