The Unite The United Foundation is a charitable organization founded by the producers of the Vans Warped Tour and the Rockstar Taste Of Chaos Tour with a mission to encourage fans, artists and industry leaders from the music, touring and lifestyle worlds to come together through charitable contributions, events and volunteer efforts in order to work toward a positive change in our national community.

Warped Tour and Taste Of Chaos founder, Kevin Lyman along with Artist Manger, Laura Murphy formed the Unite The United Foundation just after the devastating Gulf Coast hurricanes of 2005. We wanted to do something to involve our community of artists, friends and colleagues in fundraising and raising social awareness. We began collecting donated instruments, music memorabilia, autographed items, sports items, and basically anything that we could get from the bands, managers, record labels and action sports companies that we worked with. After a self taught crash course in how to use eBay we began listing everything for sale on our charity auction. What had started out as a five week charity auction is still running and bigger than ever!
We are committed to continuing our charity auctions, creating new charity fundraisers and organizing volunteer efforts. Between Vans Warped Tour, Taste of Chaos and Unite The United, we have now donated almost a half million dollars to charity.
Unite The United Foundation continues to donate all funds directly to grass roots organizations who are making a difference in our national community.
Thank you for your support and interest in our foundation. For more information, please visit us at unitetheunited.org
Best regards,
Kevin Lyman
