Q: Where does the money go?
A: TWLOHA gives a portion of proceeds directly to the treatment and recovery programs of the organizations listed below. Since 2006, TWLOHA has given nearly $ 500k to treatment and recovery.

Beyond donating to treatment and recovery, we believe that all the work we do is uniquely important. We value prevention, awareness, and communication. We have a small staff that includes part-time help who respond to messages and emails everyday. That’s the heart of what we do. That’s the most important piece, that interaction and being in a place to encourage people who are hurting. In so many cases, those are folks talking about these issues, sharing their struggles, asking for help – for the very first time. It’s a privilege that we get to respond to those messages.

We get opportunities to speak and be a part of different concerts, tours, events, etc. Warped Tour was obviously a huge example this summer, and we’re already looking forward to next summer, so our team works to make those things happen. We’re starting to focus more on our Street Team and ways we can equip people. We don’t just want to equip them to promote TWLOHA, we want to educate and encourage people so that they understand these issues, so they can walk with friends who are dealing with these things.
