Closing out 2020 on a very positive note, Deftones have completed their ‘Adopt-a-Dot’ fundraiser and made a donation of $52,500 to UC Davis Children’s Hospital and $52,500 to ‘Crew Nation’—a global relief fund for live music crews who have been impacted by COVID-19.
Deftones explain, “With pride, today we’re making our Adopt-A-Dot donations to UC Davis Children’s Hospital and Crew Nation. Hopefully these will go to making things a little easier for those facing challenging times. This wouldn’t have been possible without the support of our fans and friends that contributed to this campaign. We sincerely thank you all.”
Prior to the release of the GRAMMY® Award-winning band’s chart-topping new opus Ohms, they commenced ‘Adopt-A-Dot,’ enabling fans to make a charitable donation in the form of one or multiple dots from 12,995 available dots comprising the album’s cover-art created by Frank Maddocks. Donators uploaded photos to Deftones.com/Adopt, adding yet another dimension to the artwork and claiming a spot of their own. Now, the band has officially contributed the proceeds to these two very worthy and important causes.
