WHY FREE? //

Because You Deserve It!
FreeFest has always been about giving back. Last year, we just wanted to lighten things up in the face of a rough economy while drawing more attention to youth homelessness. And thanks to you we raised over $80,000, generated more than 30,000 hours of volunteer time and 7000 outreach kits. This year we want to do more.

We'll take care of the tickets. You take care of the karma.
Since we're picking up the cost of the tickets, we're asking each person who attends the Festival to donate $5 to The RE*Generation, Virgin Mobile's initiative to address youth homelessness. Your donations will go towards increasing educational opportunities for young people at our partner agencies.

As a thank you for your donation, those who donate will receive a special copy of the FreeFest RE*Gen Remix, a DJ mix produced by Rusko that mashes up several bands from the FreeFest line-up. The mix will be available to download on Aug 23rd.

OUR CAUSE //

Over two million youth (between the ages of 12 and 24) will experience at least one episode of homelessness each year and over 100,000 youth sleep on the street for 6 months or more in America.  The vast majority of homeless, street-dependent youth will experience amplified risk of exposure to physical assault, rape, sexual exploitation, recruitment into gangs, and deepening mental health illnesses. Homeless kids have different needs than homeless adults – they haven't even had a chance to live their lives yet.

The RE*Generation is our effort to empower a generation to help its own. We're bringing together organizations that care about homeless youth and connecting them with young people who want to help.

DONATE NOW //

Homeless Youth Need Your Help Now, More Than Ever.
The number of kids sleeping on the streets is on the rise. And with most folks worried about their own financial needs right now, donations are down and shelters are closing.

That's why your donation would be so important. Any money you give will be put to good use to benefit educational opportunities for homeless youth across the country.
