The weather was amazing today. Crazy to say that 80 degrees was cold for us but really, it was. We had such a great day for donations. Also, we were restocked in our Balloon shirts so if you were looking to get one, we have them!

It was great to finally meet Brendan May. We first heard about his story years ago and have been following his battle ever since. If you read our previous posts on our website, we made a $5,000 donation in Brendan’s name to the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation.

We have a lot of things coming up even though there are three weeks of tour left. Tomorrow is a hometown show for me, so I can’t wait!

Rock on,

Adam

This is an awesome Jack’s Mannequin inspired tattoo from a supporter at Warped Tour! 

Yesterday was a successful warped date in Cincinnati, OH. We had awesome volunteers and owe a huge thanks to Melissa for taking us to Chipotle! There are only a little more than 3 weeks left on the tour, it’s flown by so fast. This has been an incredible experience for us at 11:11 A.M. and we can’t wait to see what the rest of the tour brings!

This was from yesterday but it was the first time Melly, Leah, Kathleen, and I were together. Everyone in 11:11 A.M. lives in different states so we have finally all met each other on this tour.

Our volunteers today were really helpful. Thank you to Ashley and Jana for helping us out. Though it was really hot, we were able to meet a lot of people. I met an individual who lost their cousin to brain cancer. It’s always hard to find the words to say to someone who has lost a loved one but I told him about Dear Jack and our mission.

I also met two girls from Living the Dream Foundation who were fans of 11:11 A.M. Each day the foundation chooses candidates and gives them the VIP treatment. 11:11 A.M. and Dear Jack donated some goodie bags to them with some of our merch in them. Click the link above to learn about the foundation.

We are saying goodbye to Florida today, tomorrow we are in Atlanta. Come say hi if you are around!

Best,
Adam

Hey guys! Its Melly here. Today we were at West Palm Beach at Cruzan Ampitheatre, and it was suprisingly pretty good weather. Every time I have attended a Warped Tour in Southern Florida, there has always been rain and a moment to keep the tent from flying away.

It’s been a pretty special day as well, as I got to meet Kathleen and Leah in person for the first time. We were finally able to get a full staff picture. It’s amazing how things change over the course of a few years: I remember when we began where we were only able to do a few dates and sell some bracelets, to now where we are able to promote our message across the nation. It’s pretty humbling to be able to not only help raise money and awareness for this cause, but to also be able to meet you guys- the people who brought us to where we are today.

Best,

Melly!

The best way to get involved with Dear Jack or 11:11 A.M. is to keep an eye out on the website for upcoming events. 11:11 A.M. tries to have at least one project a month. At the moment, both organizations are out on Warped Tour. If you haven’t already, follow our twitters (twitter.com/1111am and twitter.com/dearjackhq) for more updates.

Thank you for reaching out,
Adam
