Slash Donates Tour Proceeds To Non-Profits
Following the conclusion of his 23-date “S.E.R.P.E.N.T.” Festival trek, Slash has donated the full $125,0000 raised to five nonprofit organizations handpicked by the Guns N’ Roses guitarist.
The “S.E.R.P.E.N.T.” festival, which stands for Solidarity, Engagement, Restore, Peace, Equality N’ Tolerance, was created by Slash to use touring proceeds to lift marginalized communities and support mental health initiatives.
The non-profits receiving the funds are the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), The Greenlining Institute (to eliminate redlining in communities), War Child (aid children in war affected countries), The Equal Justice Initiative (providing legal representation to prisoners) and Know Your Rights Camp (advancing the well-being of minority communities).
Plus1.org helped the “S.E.R.P.E.N.T.“ festival organize and distribute all of the proceeds.
