Partners
Kevin Lyman, founder of Warped Tour and FestWorld partner organization Full Energy, No Drugs (FEND) made the following statement
It makes sense to have a magazine dedicated to the festival culture that has become such a part of so many lives.
Kevin Lyman recently received Billboard‘s Humanitarian Award in November 2017 for his work with anti-opioid initiative FEND (“Full Energy, No Drugs”). Interestingly, the FEND app uses gamification to educate youth on the dangers of drugs.
FestWorld Foundation
Ultimately, with FestWorld Magazine, Moore and his team of magazine industry heavyweights aim to make a difference. To accomplish this, Moore has created the FestWorld Foundation.
The foundation is dedicated to combating the opioid epidemic. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, opioid addiction and misuse
The FestWorld Foundation will also support the efforts of FEND and National Opioid Action Coalition (NOAC), a WPP, iHeartMedia, and Fors Marsh Group initiative. This initiative also complements existing state and federal government efforts. Ultimately, it will also help drive measurable results in prevention, treatment center and/or recovery for communities and individuals affected by the opioid crisis and addiction triggers.
With this in mind, two dollars from every FestWorld Magazine Annual Subscription ($12) goes towards helping end the opioid epidemic.
Alex Cameron, a co-founding member of NOAC on behalf of iHeartMedia made the following statement:
We are thrilled that our work to date is inspiring meaningful action. Scotty was in the audience at our Advertising Week NY panel bringing together voices across public, private and pop culture sectors.
Magazine has responded to our call with not only a commitment to shining a brighter light on the opioid FestWorld crisis, but by creating a foundation to provide resources to organizations supporting reducing the stigma around the issue, as well as improving prevention, treatment and recovery efforts. We look forward to partnering with FestWorld Magazine to bring impactful programs across the festival landscape and leverage pop culture to make a difference in fighting this epidemic
