FYE Music Grant Winner
Hallie Greenberg, 16
Performing Arts from the Heart
In the fall of 2005, Hallie used her bat mitzvah gifts to start non-profit organization dedicated to the delivery of after-school theater programs to students who could not otherwise afford them. Thus, “Performing Arts from the Heart” was created to provide arts programs to low-income adolescents. Hallie believes that after-school theatre programs can help teens avoid the dangers inherent in unsupervised after-school time (especially for students who live in high-crime neighborhoods) and develop habits that will contribute to social and academic success. Today, Performing Arts from the Heart has successfully raised over $30,000 and launched various programs in New York public schools for four years.
MySpace Grant Winner
Alexander Lin, 15
Project WIN’05
E-Waste, or Electronic Waste, is one of the biggest environmental problems that we currently face today. The relentless pace of modifying and creating new electronics has led to the improper disposal of tons of old electronic materials, which contain heavy metals and other serious environmental pollutants. Alex’s project was initiated to make an impact in the community by creating a sustainable system to process e-waste. It addresses the problem by reusing old computers, recycling e-waste and passing legislation to ensure proper disposal. The project also creates a responsible method for donating computers overseas in Project WIN ‘08 – A Green Bridge Across the Digital Divide. With this program, companies in the states ‘adopt’ schools or communities in developing countries. The two form a partnership to send computers to these needy areas without impacting the environment.
Hopeless/Sub City Grant Winner
Erin Gorski, 23
Warped Eco Initiative
Erin started the Warped Eco Initiative in 2005 and successfully reduced Warped Tour’s carbon footprint by implementing a solar powered stage, volunteer driven recycling program, biodiesel fueling of 40 vehicles, waste reduction program, tour volunteer days and educational contests for bands. This past summer, Warped Eco managed to divert 40,000 lbs of recyclable material from the waste stream by way of volunteer driven recycling program. The Warped Eco Initiative was also responsible for a solar powered stage, which hosts ten bands per day and provides power for the entire non-profit area and the on-site coordination of bio-diesel fueling of 40 tour vehicles, biodegradable and washable plates/utensils in catering, and donations from environmentally conscious vendors. At the conclusion of the summer, the Warped Eco Initiative managed to reduce the tour’s carbon emissions by 742,218 lbs through our solar, bio-diesel, and recycling programs.

The recently wrapped, eighth annual 2009 Take Action! Tour came to a culmination after two months and 40 shows, with one last hurrah in Cincinnati, OH on April 1, 2009. The nationwide charity tour raises funds and awareness for youth involvement in charitable action, and for the second straight year Take Action has chosen not-for-profit organization DoSomething.org to benefit from the funds raised and to help spread the message of action to young people across the US and Canada.
2009 marks the first time the Take Action! Tour has ventured to Australia, with Hopeless Records’ own All Time Low and San Franciscan pop-punk/hardcore enthusiasts Set Your Goals leading the charge, while Melbourne quintet Stealing O’Neal will also be jumping on board as the national support. The Take Action! Tour supports and promotes the work of ReachOut.com, an Australian youth service dedicated to reducing youth suicide. From each ticket sold, Take Action! will donate 10% (excluding GST) to ReachOut.com to help them continue to provide young people with an anonymous and free support website which provides info and advice on issues like depression, bullying, wellbeing and relationships. Visit TakeActionTour.com for additional details.
