One For The Roadies

The global Covid-19 pandemic has negatively impacted people worldwide, and live music road crews are no exception. Many do not have ample health insurance and do not qualify for unemployment or government subsidies. Due to the length of this pandemic remaining unknown, road crews who dedicate their lives to supporting others, need support now more than ever.

The goods news is, Crew Nation was created in the wake of the pandemic to extend a helping hand to the touring and venue crews who depend on shows to make a living. And YETI, an innovator of high-quality, outdoor gear, has joined forces with artists and Crew Nation to raise money for these road crews through the launch of their newest product — the Roadie® 24 Cooler.

To kickoff the auction. YETI sent each artist a Roadie® Cooler to personally customize for their fans.* Now that all the coolers are designed and ready to rock, the goal is to raise funds for loyal road crews through this exclusive roadie auction. Happy bidding.

That said, if you already have a cooler but still want to join in on the cause — that's great. Just click the "Donate" button on the top right-hand corner of the screen and you can donate to directly to Crew Nation from there.

100% OF THE NET PROCEEDS GENERATED FROM THE AUCTION OF THIS COOLER SHALL BE DONATED* TO THE CREW NATION GLOBAL RELIEF FUND FOR LIVE MUSIC CREWS (HTTPS://WWW.LIVENATIONENTERTAINMENT.COM/CREWNATION/)

*PURCHASES ARE NOT TAX DEDUCTIBLE AS A CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTION BY CONSUMER/PURCHASER. CHARITY PARTICIPATION DOES NOT IMPLY ENDORSEMENT, APPROVAL OR RECOMMENDATION BY YETI OR ITS AFFILIATES. YETI DOES NOT GUARANTEE THE PERMANENCE OF ANY ARTIST'S DESIGNS OR CUSTOMIZATION OF OUR COOLERS.

Live music inspires millions around the world, but the concerts we all enjoy wouldn’t be possible without the countless crew members working behind the scenes. As COVID-19 puts concerts on pause, we want to extend a helping hand to the touring and venue crews who depend on shows to make a living. Crew Nation was created to do just that.
Crew members are the backbone of the live music industry, and we hope you’ll join us in supporting them through this temporary intermission until we can once again unite millions around the world through the power of live music. Crew Nation is powered by Music Forward Foundation, a charitable 501c3 organization, that is administering and managing the fund.
Live Nation Concerts has committed $10 million to Crew Nation – contributing an initial $5 million to the fund, then matching the next $5 million given by artists, fans and employees dollar for dollar. Thanks for your support, and we look forward to seeing you at a show again soon. Learn more at: https://www.livenationentertainment.com/crewnation/
