Dear Jack Foundation and 11:11A.M. will be teaming up this summer on the 2010 Vans Warped Tour. As a part of the non-profit/Take Action area of Warped Tour, the two organizations will unite under one tent to raise awareness for cancer research. All proceeds raised on tour will go towards furthering the mission of Dear Jack Foundation: to improve survival rates of young adult cancer patients.

Warped Tour attendees will find new merchandise from each organization, literature on how and where to volunteer locally, daily raffles and a special opportunity to share their personal stories on how cancer has affected their lives. Dear Jack, the documentary that chronicles Andrew McMahon’s heroic battle with cancer, will also be available for sale.

Volunteer opportunities will be available at each tour date. More information on how to sign up will be announced in the near future. Please follow @1111am and @dearjackhq to stay updated on how to get involved this summer.

Tour Dates for the Vans Warped Tour can be found HERE.

Wish. Love. Hope. Cure.
Dear Jack Foundation & 11:11am

Matt is a fellow Jack’s Mannequin fan and a proud 11:11 A.M. supporter. Earlier this year, Matt, who is 23 years old, was diagnosed with lymphoma. This Christmas season, he is going to be in the hospital bravely fighting his cancer and receiving his treatments.

11:11 A.M. wants YOU to show your support for Matt’s fight and spread a little holiday cheer. Send him a holiday card (Matt celebrates Christmas, but you’re free to send any sort of card– even a handmade one!) to:

City of Hope
1500 E. Duarte Road
Duarte, CA 91010
ATTN: Matt Cwiertny – Patient

It is very important to include the “ATTN: Matt Cwiertny – Patient” line, so please double-check when you address your card. He’ll be reading every single one, so be sure to include your favorite JM lyric or reference to 11:11. Let’s spread some holiday cheer and let Matt know that he is not fighting alone!

Fight on,
11:11 A.M.

PS. Send us a photo of you and your card, and we’ll post some of the best ones on our myspace!

The Academy Is… are in Australia to start their new tour and released this video. Notice anything in it?

Hey Guys!

Andrew McMahon of Something Corporate/Jack’s Mannequin was interviewed by warpedreporter.com while Jack’s was on Warped Tour and he gave us a pretty awesome shout out! Check it out around the 0:52 mark!
