About Charity Bomb
Charity
Bomb is a non-profit organization founded by four philanthropic friends
to produce benefit shows for a variety of charitable organizations in
the scope of music. Our motto is "All Purpose Altruism" - we deliver
100% of the proceeds, 100% of the time, with 100% transparency, to
ensure that the funds raised reach its intended constituency, every
dime, every time.
Musician
& Philanthropist, Matthew Leone was put into a coma with 1/3 of his
skull removed after rescuing a woman being beaten on the streets of
Chicago a few years back. From Kevin, Lyman & Warped Tour, to Kiss
and Madonna, the international music community rallied to bring him back
to life. Smashing Pumpkins even did a benefit show for him. Twin
brother, singer for their band Madina Lake, Nathan Leone agrees, this is
what saved his life. Consequently, the Leone's devoted their lives to
giving back. After several years with Sweet Relief Musicians Fund &
Help Musicians UK, it was time to branch out. All-Purpose Altruism -
Charity Bomb reflects the ubiquitous truth that love is the antidote for
everything. This notion, as applied in our philanthropic context,
asserts that we will drum up love, in all of its forms, for a particular
cause or purpose, and drop it on the antagonist.
Los
Angeles native, professional musician & acclaimed songwriter, Nik
Frost, suffered from addiction. When drugs came dangerously close to
claiming his life, it was fellow musicians, Dave Kushner & Brian
O'conner (Velvet Revolver & Eagles of Death Metal respectively) who
intervened and came to his rescue. Nik worked with Matthew on several
projects, all a pre-destination to Charity Bomb. We are a non-profit,
fundraising and awareness agent for any benevolent cause that enters our
ether.
Ryan
Ford, lifelong closest friend, philanthropist, successful entrepreneur,
an avid lover of music, is the fourth Charity Bomber. Ryan's founded
several businesses, MP45 Records among them, and brings the
administrative acumen to complement his creative contribution to the
collective. In short, we have the purpose, we know the right people and
we know how to put on a show. We love a win-win-win outcome. It's
abundantly clear that living a life where we produce spectacular live
music events that serve a philanthropic cause, makes our constituents
win, our clients win, and the fans win.
