It’s TWLOHA’s busiest time of the year on the road. There are long hours, extreme heat, and unpredictable skies. But, we know it’s 100% worth it.
Our presence is a pledge: You are not alone.
We believe that healing starts with hope. We consider it a privilege to meet people face to face and connect them to resources in their community. And now, we’re excited to welcome you into this work year round. Meet TWLOHA Blue.
TWLOHA Blue is our new monthly donor program that helps us meet people where they are and connect people to FIND HELP resources at 150 events each year. Your monthly gift will help us grow our resource database, send trained team members to events, and secure our spots at each event. When you join TWLOHA Blue before July 31, you’ll be considered a Founding Member.
We also asked our road warrior Chad Moses to share what it means to him to have your support on the road:
August 19th will mark the end of my 10th summer touring with TWLOHA. I’ve spent hours reflecting on that one sentence, and this is the first time I’ve ever seen it typed out. When I started my journey here, our summer consisted of a few speaking events, Vans Warped Tour, and a handful of music festivals. In 2008, we were part of 18 music festivals alongside Warped, stints with The Rocket Summer, and Switchfoot. Fast forward a decade, and we are on pace to have a presence at nearly 150 festivals and events. We will be in front of more than one million people.
The significance of this is massive. Yet, the hope is that we are still only getting started.
We haven’t slowed down in the slightest and there is no indication of this movement letting up. I am currently halfway through an 11 week run of festivals that make up only a fraction of our presence across the country. These events represent a broad spectrum of attendees, from Warped, to faith-based festivals, to EDM raves, to some of the largest music gatherings held across North America.
At each event we hear people say, “You all saved my life 8 years ago” and “I never thought I’d see you at an event like this” and “Please, keep showing up!”
This is fueled by people like you. We’ve been able to place ourselves in the midst of literally millions of people because of your support. I have the pleasure of seeing what lies on the receiving end. People who have lost more than I can imagine and yet choose to continue their stories. People who have connected with counselors because we met them at the right place, at the right time, with the a list of resources. People who had made a plan to abandon their sobriety until they saw that we were hosting an AA/NA meeting at our booth. People who attend these events and return home equipped with ways to spread hope to their friends, families, and neighbors.
It’s been the story from the very beginning. We’ve stood on the shoulders of giants that shared the message from stage, but more than anything, this has been a collective movement of people in the crowd, each brought to life by hope. And now, we invite you to help us go farther. Your commitment and support has legitimately kept people alive. I could not be more proud to carry your hearts and your support through TWLOHA Blue with me to every event we attend.
