Don't miss tonight's (Wednesday, July 24th at 7pm PST) DJ Rossstar's Punk Rock Show on Stickam as he interviews two of this year's Warped Tour headliners and perennial favorites, Tampa's UnderOath and Gainesville's Less Than Jake.

At the Tampa Warped Tour, I hope one or both of these bands will sign a custom built, hot pink skimboard, donated by Tampa Bay's APEX Skimboards to Boarding For Breast Cancer

The Unite The United Foundation will auction this skimboard on EBay in October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

The Unite The United Foundation is a charitable organization founded by the producers of the Vans Warped Tour and the Rockstar Taste Of Chaos Tour with a mission to encourage fans, artists and industry leaders from the music, touring and lifestyle worlds to come together through charitable contributions, events and volunteer efforts in order to work toward a positive change in our national community.

Warped Tour and Taste Of Chaos founder, Kevin Lyman along with Artist Manager, Laura Murphy formed the Unite the United Foundation just after the Gulf Coast hurricanes hit in 2005. They wanted to do something to involve their community of artists, friends and colleagues in fundraising and raising social awareness. They began collecting donated instruments, music memorabilia, autographed items, sports apparel, basically anything that we could get from the bands, managers, record labels and lifestyle companies that they worked with. After a self taught crash course in how to use eBay they began listing everything for sale on their charity auction. What had started out as a five week charity auction is still running and bigger than ever!

They are committed to continuing their charity auctions, creating new charity fundraisers and organizing volunteer efforts.

Between Vans Warped Tour, Taste of Chaos and Unite the United, they have now donated almost a half million dollars to charity.

Unite the United Foundation is committed to raising funds to be donated directly to grass roots organizations that are making a difference in our national community.



DJ Ross Star's Thursday's guests will be Warped Tour Founder, Kevin Lyman, and The Ataris.
