We’re on a mission to raise $300,000 by 11/11 to support young adults facing cancer through Dear Jack’s LifeList, Breathe Now, and community programs.
Donate, fundraise, or spread the word to help us reach our goal and continue to support AYA cancer patients and survivors across the country.
Welcome to your artist partner resource hub. This page is designed to show you how seamless it is to integrate social impact into your next tour cycle through our $1 ticket add-on program. Below, you’ll find everything from logistical overviews and a message from our founder, Andrew McMahon, to creative ways we can collaborate to support adolescents and young adults navigating cancer.
Since founding the Dear Jack Foundation in 2006, Andrew has utilized his platform to walk beside AYAs through every step of their journey—from diagnosis through survivorship. In this video, Andrew shares why this “set it and forget it” model is the most effective way to turn a tour into a massive force for good without adding work to your production.
Through crowd-sourced funding, we add a nominal $1 to the ticket price paid by the fan. This creates significant funding for AYA wellness programs through a diluted cost, requiring no out-of-pocket donation from the artist.
PLUS1 handles the entire backend—including promoter liaison, settlement, and compliance—so your team can focus entirely on the music.
90% of all funds raised go directly to Dear Jack Foundation programs, and you’ll receive a post-tour report outlining exactly how your fans helped.
While the $1 add-on is a turnkey solution, we love to help artists who want to create a deeper connection. Here are a few ways we can level up the partnership:
Nightly Auctions: Auction off a signed drumhead or guitar at each tour stop.
VIP Integration: Dedicate a portion of VIP package proceeds to AYA programs.
Stage Shoutouts: Invite a Dear Jack representative or a local survivor to briefly share the mission from the stage.
Custom Merch: Collaborate on a limited-run item where a percentage of sales benefits our community.
We view our artist partners as family. In exchange for your support, we gladly provide:
