With 35 releases and counting to go along with the annual Take Action Tour, Hopeless/ Sub City Records is preparing to cross the one million dollar donation mark later this year.

Hopeless/ Sub City would like to thank all the bands and labels involved this year that brought the message directly to fans, making a real difference and saving countless lives. Thank you as well to Jamie Kelsall and everyone at APA for again booking an amazing tour, and thank you to Mike Cubillos and Jose Martinez at Earshot Media and Eda Kalkay and Liz Hay for their help in promoting this great cause.

The mission of Take Action continues this summer on Warped Tour with the Take Action Non-Profit Area providing a home for all charitable outreach to fans on the tour.
