Wantickets
Wantickets is the leading online nightlife, EDM & event ticketing company in North America. On select ticket purchases, Wantickets has generously included an option to include a donation to Give a Beat.
Kamibashi
Kamibashi is a company started by Kristen and Chris Daniels that sells handmade string doll characters. At Kamibashi they care – about the satisfaction of their customers, the quality of their products, and the well-being of the artists they work with and their families. Kamibashi also cares about the state of the world around them; their line of Kamibashi Cares dolls have a valuable philanthropic purpose. For every one that is sold, Kamibashi donates $.50 or $1.00 to eleven different charities that they have chosen to work with. Give a Beat is one of these lucky organizations.
Past Collaborations
A Positive Spin
In December 2013, Give a Beat partnered with We are the Movement to host A Positive Spin, an online fundraising auction in conjunction with a day of DJ and production workshops with The Optimist Youth Home in East Los Angeles. 50 youths in the foster care system had the opportunity to learn various aspects of DJing and production (turntables, CDJs, beat-making and more) from some of electronic music’s biggest names including: A-Trak, AC Slater, Big Syphe, Craze, Flinch, Harvard Bass, Kill The Noise, Klever, Mr Choc, Protohype, Richard Vission, Tittsworth and Valentino Khan. Catch a glimpse of the inspiring workshop in the video below (created by our friend, D’Angelo):
