Metal For Good – A charity looking to harness the power of rock and metal for an equal society – has announced its first annual fundraising campaign – Metal Merch Day, to be held in October this year.
Metal For Good, which was awarded charitable status at the end of 2022, aims to invite rockers and metalheads across the country to don their favourite rock and metal merch in support of their work on the 20th October.
As well as wearing their merch to work/college/the gym (or whatever they happen to be doing on the day!) for a small charitable donation, rockers and metalheads will be encouraged to organise their own community fundraising events in the weeks before and after, including gig nights, rock and metal themed pub quizzes, or challenge events including rock and metal/fancy dress themed group runs or football matches.
Metal For Good believe that the rock and metal community are a force for change, and in the transformational power of music. All money raised goes directly to community projects helping people through music.
Metal For Good co-founder Katy Baker said: “We’re delighted to be launching our first #metalmerchday campaign, we know that the rock and metal community are some of the loveliest people around, and take huge comfort and benefit from music being such a huge part of their lives. We can’t wait to see social media flooded with pictures of people in their favourite merch, and raise much needed money for grassroots projects using music to change lives”.
